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 U-BT 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.[3]
On July 2, 2022, Brown signed with Peristeri of the Greek Basket League and the Basketball Champions League.[4] 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.[5]
On December 25, 2023, he signed with Türk Telekom of the Turkish Basketbol Süper Ligi (BSL).[6]
