Professional career

Brandon Brown won the 2018–19 Bulgarian Basketball Championship with Balkan Botevgrad.[1]

Brown recalls that before he joined Cluj-Napoca, he had never played in front of 10,000 visitors before. During the 2021–22 Champions League season he led his team CS Universitatea Cluj-Napoca to the Quarterfinals. This placement exceeded expectations. Brown was one of the favorites to win the competition's MVP award. Other leading players on his side included Patrick Richard, Andrija Stipanović, Elijah Stewart or Dustin Hogue.[2]

On July 2, 2022, Brown signed with Peristeri of the Greek Basket League and the Basketball Champions League.[3] However, on September 11, 2022, he parted ways with the club due to a pressing family matter.

On November 21, 2022, he signed with Hapoel Jerusalem of the Israeli Basketball Premier League.[4]
