Lorenzo Brown Nears Deal with Hapoel Jerusalem, Milano to Contribute

American basketball player Lorenzo Brown is reportedly on his way to signing with Hapoel Jerusalem, aiming to fill the void left by the injured Jared Harper. Details of the agreement have emerged, indicating Brown will earn approximately $850,000 per season. His former team, Milano, is expected to contribute about $250,000 of that salary, leaving Hapoel Jerusalem responsible for the remaining $600,000. The contract is set to run until the end of the year, with an option for Hapoel Jerusalem to terminate the agreement after a few months. This clause is likely related to Harper's recovery timeline, which is estimated to be between two to four additional months.

Last season, Brown played in 12 EuroLeague games, averaging 5.8 points and 2.7 assists per game. His notable performance included a 17-point, five-assist game against his former team, Panathinaikos.
