Clippers' Kobe Brown: Scores 13 points in blowout loss
Rotowire
Brown notched 13 points (6-7 FG, 1-1 FT) and three assists across eight minutes during Saturday's 120-101 loss to the Nuggets in Game 7 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Brown finished as the Clippers' second leading scorer while making the most of his limited minutes during garbage time of the blowout loss. The 25-year-old made only three appearances in the club's first-round series loss to Denver, averaging 5.3 points and 1.3 assists across 5.0 minutes per game. Brown has two years remaining on his contract, including a team option for the 2026-27 season. The second-year forward appeared in 40 regular-season games during the 2024-25 campaign, finishing with averages of 1.9 points, 1.6 rebounds and 0.6 assists across 6.8 minutes per game.

Rotowire
Brown played five minutes in Sunday's 108-102 loss to the Lakers, finishing with zero points (0-1 FG) and one rebound.
Back with the parent club after a brief stint with the G League's San Diego Clippers, Brown surprisingly entered the rotation with Derrick Jones (groin) sitting out and with Norman Powell (hamstring) exiting early. Both Jones and Powell appear in danger of missing the Clippers' next game Tuesday in Phoenix, but even if that's the case, Brown likely won't see his role grow substantially.

Clippers' Kobe Brown: Makes garbage-time return
Rotowire
Brown (back) played the final 12 minutes of Tuesday's 122-86 loss to the Spurs and finished with five points (2-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and one rebound.
Brown made his first appearance since Nov. 25, after he had been sidelined for more than a month due to back injury management. The second-year forward likely won't be featured in head coach Tyronn Lue's rotation on a regular basis now that he's healthy again. The 12 minutes Brown played Tuesday represented his second-highest total of the season, and he didn't check into the game until the start of the fourth quarter, when the Clippers were trailing by 28 points.
