Suns sign Lorenzo Brown to 10-day contract

The Phoenix Suns signed Lorenzo Brown to a 10-day contract on Friday, the team announced.

Brown had been playing for the Grand Rapids Drive, the Detroit Pistons' D-League affiliate.

Brown last played in the NBA for the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2014-15, averaging 4.2 points, 3.1 assists, and 2.4 rebounds in 29 games.

The Philadelphia 76ers chose the 25-year-old with the 52nd overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft out of NC State; he was later waived by the team in March 2014.

The Suns were in need of point guard depth after starter Eric Bledsoe sustained a season-ending meniscus tear. Sophomore Bryce Cotton has received some playing time with Bledsoe out, but the Providence alumnus is averaging just 1.3 points and one assist while posting a player efficiency rating of minus-3.17.

Brown was averaging 16.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.9 assists with the Drive.
