Moses Brown Rumors
The Knicks waived Matt Ryan and Jacob Toppin, their pair of two-way contracts, setting the stage for more roster moves to reinforce the end of the bench. They now have a regular roster spot and two two-way slots to potentially fill. According to sources, they’ve had contact with at least two G-League prospects — veteran wing TJ Warren and center Moses Brown — about a potential call-up, but there were no commitments to either as of Friday.
Moses Brown on Knicks' radar
Ian Begley: Something worth noting: due to financial restrictions, Dallas can’t sign Moses Brown to a second 10 day deal. The center is among players on the Knicks’ radar for 15th roster spot, per people familiar with the matter. Brown, who played high school basketball at Archbishop Molloy, spent time with the Westchester Knicks earlier this season. He is currently on a 10 day deal with Dallas. Brown, 25, put up 21 points, 11 rebounds, three steals and two blocks in 31 minutes against Charlotte. Dallas can’t immediately sign Brown to another 10-day deal because it is hard-capped at the first apron. Westchester players TJ Warren and Chuma Okeke are also on New York’s radar.
Mark Followill: As was rumored yesterday, the Mavs are signing 7'2" center Moses Brown to a 10-day contract to provide some depth at a position hit very hard by injuries. Brown played 26 games with Dallas in 2021-22 & has 159 games of NBA experience in 6 seasons. This season he played 9 games with the Pacers and for the G-League Westchester Knicks has averaged approx 16 ppg & 14 rpg in 26 games. He was the G-League player of the month in January - 16.7 ppg, 16.4 rpg.
Marc Stein: Moses Brown is auditioning for the Mavericks today in Dallas and is expected to sign this afternoon if all goes to plan. The Mavericks obviously have a massive frontcourt need with Anthony Davis, Dereck Lively II and Daniel Gafford all sidelined.

Bobby Marks: The Mavericks are working within a tight budget. After the Brown 10-Day, Dallas will be $51,148 below the first apron. They will need to wait until April to sign a 15th player.
Mavericks plan to sign big man Moses Brown
Shams Charania: The Dallas Mavericks plan to sign 7-foot-2 center Moses Brown to a 10-day contract, agent Ryan Davis of LIFT Sports Management told ESPN. Mavs bring in a big man with Anthony Davis, Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively II expected to be out extended time.

"Once I got back from the road trip I got a call from coach (Rick) Carlisle," Brown said Friday in Milwaukee. "He said things could be moving pretty fast. Stay ready. So that's pretty much what I did."

"He's gotta rebound, run, be a great screen setter, roller and execute coverages to the best of his availability," Carlisle said. "We play a different defensive system than he's played in the past but he's working at adapting. He's a great kid. He really appreciates this opportunity. This was heart-warming to see."
It's tough for them to even get practice time with how frequently they're playing, so Brown has to pick things up in games and through film review, figuring things out as he goes. "Those steps on my journey have prepared me for where I am right now," Brown said. "... Being with a lot of different teams, this is the NBA. These are a lot of coverages and a lot of schemes I probably have seen before or probably have played against. Once that gets re-introduced, that acclimation kinda snaps."
Tony East: This is, indeed, a two-year contract for Moses Brown. Fully non-guaranteed, and second year is a team option. So Pacers paying for some possible future upside.
