Former Mizzou Star Kobe Brown Dealt at NBA Trade Deadline: The Buzz

Former Missouri basketball star Kobe Brown was one of several players traded Thursday before the NBA trade deadline, with the Los Angeles Clippers trading the guard to the Indiana Pacers. The deal was first reported by Shams Carania of ESPN.

He was one of two players the Clippers sent to the Pacers in exchange for two other players and three draft selections.

Brown was selected by the Clippers with the 30th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. He was the first Missouri player to be selected in the NBA Draft since Michael Porter Jr. in 2018. Those two are the only two Tigers to be selected the first round since 2010.

Brown has appeared in 117 total games in his three seasons with the Clippers. Across that time, he averaged 8.1 minutes, 1.5 rebounds, .8 assists and 2.2 points per game.

Brown was ruled out for Indiana's Friday night game at Milwaukee, making the Pacers' game at Toronto on Sunday his possible debut with Indiana.

Brown led Missouri to a NCAA Tournament Bid in the 2022-2023 season, earning First-team All-SEC honors after leading the Tigers with 15.8 points and 6.4 rebounds per game.
