Lorenzo Brown Eyed by Hapoel Jerusalem to Replace Injured Harper

Hapoel Jerusalem is reportedly considering Lorenzo Brown, a former Maccabi Tel Aviv player, as a potential replacement for the injured guard Jared Harper. Brown is currently with Olimpia Milano but is not in their plans for the upcoming season and is seeking to be released from his two-year contract signed last summer.

Brown has not integrated well with the Italian team and reportedly missed the start of their training camp, leading him to express frustration on Twitter about his situation. While he is under contract until the end of the current season, he hopes for an immediate release.

Negotiations are ongoing between Brown and Milano regarding the termination of his contract, with reports suggesting a potential 50% salary cut as part of the agreement. However, no consensus has been reached yet, and the team's roster is considered complete otherwise, with Brown's situation lingering.

Brown previously played for Maccabi Tel Aviv from 2022 to 2024 before moving to Panathinaikos. His performance in the previous season with Panathinaikos was considered subpar, averaging 5.8 points and 2.7 assists in 12 EuroLeague games.
