Brown signed a two-way contract, which means he will spend most of the season in the G League with the Wolves' team in Iowa.

Brown, 24, averaged 20.3 points and 5.4 rebounds in 37.7 minutes over 24 games for Erie in the G League last season.

He has played in the NBA for New Orleans, Orlando, and the Los Angeles Lakers, who took him in the second round of the 2015 draft from Stanford.

NBA teams are allowed to sign two players to two-way contracts in addition to the 15-player roster. Players on two-ways can't be in the NBA more than 45 days.
