They've still managed to win three consecutive games, including an upset over the [Miami Heat](https://www.cbssports.com/nba/teams/MIA/miami-heat/) without [LeBron James](/nba/players/400553/lebron-james/) on Wednesday. Brown should be able to provide it, and if he can't, the beginning of 10-day contract season gives the Lakers the flexibility to find someone else. [Los Angeles Lakers](https://www.cbssports.com/nba/teams/LAL/los-angeles-lakers/) are progressing towards a 10-day contract with veteran wing [Sterling Brown](/nba/players/2104892/sterling-brown/), according to [The Athletic](https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1611387397660368896). He won't be able to match Reaves and Walker as creators, but right now, the Lakers simply need competent bench play out of that position. [Anthony Davis](/nba/players/1992786/anthony-davis/) still sidelined with a stress injury in his foot, the Lakers are stretched about as thin as they have been all season. Brown, a five-year [NBA](/nba/) veteran, has played for the [Milwaukee Bucks](https://www.cbssports.com/nba/teams/MIL/milwaukee-bucks/), [Houston Rockets](https://www.cbssports.com/nba/teams/HOU/houston-rockets/) and [Dallas Mavericks](https://www.cbssports.com/nba/teams/DAL/dallas-mavericks/), but had been unable to catch on with a team thus far this season.

NBA Rumors: Lakers to sign Sterling Brown to 10-day contract (Silver Screen and Roll)

The Lakers are signing a wing to their 15th roster spot, as they will add Sterling Brown out of the G League.

You can follow Harrison on Twitter at [@hmfaigen](https://twitter.com/hmfaigen). [working out Tyler Dorsey yesterday](https://www.silverscreenandroll.com/2023/1/5/23541520/nba-rumors-lakers-workout-tyler-dorsey-10-day-contracts-free-agency-report-stats), we should point out that Brown — listed at 6’5 — will now be the eighth Laker on the 15-man roster who is shorter than 6’6. [Dallas Mavericks](https://www.mavsmoneyball.com) last year in his most recent NBA season. And as Dan Woike of The Los Angeles Times notes, Brown also has a relationship with Lakers head coach Darvin Ham from the latter’s time as an assistant with the [Milwaukee Bucks](https://www.brewhoop.com) while Brown was playing there. The team can re-sign Brown to a second 10-day deal after that, but would then have to sign him for the rest of the season if they wanted to keep him around beyond those second 10 days, as teams can only sign a single player to two 10-day contracts per season.

However, Brown is more of a natural position fit than Dorsey, as not only did he play primarily small forward for [52 NBA games for the Bucks](https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/brownst02.html) during the 2019-20 season, but he also [has a 6’9 wingspan](https://www.grizzlybearblues.com/2020/10/21/21520989/grizzlies-free-agency-profiles-sterling-brown-memphis-nba-milwaukee-bucks).

It’s the best way to watch player interviews, exclusive coverage from events, participate in live shows, and more! At 6’5″, he would give the Lakers a little bit of length and defensive toughness on the wing, which is what their current guard-heavy roster lacks. He played his first three seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks, where Ham was an assistant coach, before short stints with the Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks. Brown will get a 10-day audition to show he belongs with the Lakers are else they will likely move on to someone else in a couple of weeks. The Lakers later went on to confirm the signing, adding Brown to the roster on a 10-day contract. Because of that, it is not surprising to see the Lakers adding a wing with their first 10-day contract.
