Brown signed a two-year deal with ALBA, the player's agency announced. He spent the last six seasons in the NBA.
With all eyes on international basketball, ALBA Berlin have quietly signed a new player.
Priority Sports agency first announced that their client Sterling Brown has a multi-year deal with the German club, which later specified that the player has signed a two-year contract, until the end of the 2024-25 season.
Before coming to Europe, the 28-year-old winger spent the last 6 years of his career in the NBA, playing for four different teams.

Last season, he played just four games with the Los Angeles Lakers, and spent most of his time in the G League. With the Raptors 905, Brown averaged 15.7 points on 49% shooting, 7.2 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 1.1 steals per game.
During the 2021-22 season, Brown played alongside Luka Doncic on the Dallas Mavericks, averaging 3.3 points and 3.0 rebounds in 49 games.
Brown, who holds NBA career averages of 5.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.0 assists, becomes the fourth newcomer on ALBA's roster after Justin Bean, Matt Thomas, and Matteo Spagnolo.
"I've liked Sterling since I saw him play live for the first time in 2017," said Himar Ojeda, ALBA Sporting Director.
"So I'm all the happier to finally have him on our team. With his skills, he will help us in many ways, although it will take him some time to get used to European basketball. We want to make this transition as easy as possible for him and help him make the best use of his all-round abilities."
