Mavericks: Sterling Brown is searching for chess partners

The Dallas Mavericks signed Sterling Brown to a two-year $6 million deal in the offseason. Brown played his college basketball at SMU, so it is a bit of a homecoming for the 26-year-old guard. The Mavs targeted him early in the process as they loved his 3-point shooting, perimeter defense, and fit next to Luka Doncic.

Brown has come off the bench in the first two preseason games. He gives the Mavericks needed wing depth after they struggle to defend the Clippers' small-ball lineups in the postseason. At 6’5, Brown has versatility and the ability to switch that could pay dividends for Dallas in the playoffs.

Sterling Brown did an interview (subscription required) with The Athletic’s Tim Cato where he talked his game, playing for new head coach Jason Kidd, and so much more. Brown also let fans know that he is looking for chess partners in Dallas.
