Kwame Brown (back spasms) is expected to start Thursday's game at center. |
Brown will play between 12-18 minutes, as the Sixers are slowly working him into the mix despite Andrew Bynum's continued absence with a sore knee. The rest of Philly's starting lineup will include Spencer Hawes, Jrue Holiday, Evan Turner and Jason Richardson. |

Thu Oct 11 2012 | 13:53 | Kwame Brown dealing with back spasms |
Kwame Brown is questionable for Thursday's preseason game due to back spasms. |
"It is just a muscle spasm," Doug Collins said. "In training camp guys start to get beat up and tired." Brown was slated to start in place of injured Andrew Bynum (knee), but if he can't go, rookie Arnett Moultrie could get the nod tonight. |

Mon Oct 8 2012 | 18:35 | Kwame Brown likely to start for Sixers |
Kwame Brown has been working with the first unit all week and is expected to start at center for the Sixers when their preseason starts on Thursday. |
This shouldn't come as a surprise, as Andrew Bynum has been shut down for the next couple weeks, and Brown is an experienced NBA center. The Sixers just have to hope Bynum is fully ready to go by opening night. |

Fri Jul 20 2012 | 14:05 | Kwame Brown officially signs with Sixers |
Sixers signed C Kwame Brown. |
Brown is expected to serve as Philadelphia's starting center, but he's not believed to have an integral role in the offense. The former No. 1 overall pick will be asked to play solid low post defense, but he is unlikely to offer much in the way of fantasy value. |

Wed Jul 18 2012 | 06:53 | Collins: Kwame Brown to be starting center |
Doug Collins said that he envisions Kwame Brown as the Sixers starting center. |
And Philadelphia shudders with the news. In all seriousness, Collins said that he envisions Spencer Hawes starting at power forward while Brown will man the middle. The remaining three spots of the starting five will be filled out by Jrue Holiday, Evan Turner and Andre Iguodala. |

Fri Jul 13 2012 | 13:55 | Sixers, Kwame Brown agree on two-year deal |
The Sixers and free agent Kwame Brown have agreed on a two-year deal worth approximately $6 million. |
The second year is a player option. As per a previous report, the Sixers seem likely to start Kwame at center and make Spencer Hawes their starting PF, with Lavoy Allen and Nikola Vucevic coming off the bench. |

Thu Jun 14 2012 | 08:44 | Bucks thinking about retaining Kwame Brown |
The Bucks have "left the door open" to re-sign unrestricted free agent Kwame Brown. |
Brown was a serious disappointment after signing with the Warriors last season and tearing his pectoral muscle. He earned $7 million this season, but it's unlikely he'll come close to sniffing that salary this year. The former No. 1 overall pick is unlikely to make a serious impact regardless of where he ultimately lands. |

Kwame Brown (torn pectoral) is "on track" with his rehjab process. |
"He's rehabbing in Atlanta," Mark Bartelstein (Brown's agent) said. "He should be good to go in a couple of weeks." Bartelstein also indicated that while re-signing with the Bucks is an option, Brown will explore the market before making a decision. |

Kwame Brown continues to rehab from pectoral surgery and could possibly be available for the Bucks in the playoffs, according to his agent, Mark Bartelstein. |
Brown was recently traded to the Bucks, who are deep enough at center that Brown shouldn't make much difference if he's healthy enough to play in April or May. |

Tue Mar 13 2012 | 21:22 | Kwame Brown traded to Bucks |
Kwame Brown has been traded to the Bucks from the Warriors, although the deal has yet to be made official. |
Brown is likely out for the season and was clearly just a throw-in in the deal. He'll be an unrestricted free agent this summer, so will likely never play a game for the Bucks. |

Thu Jan 19 2012 | 22:09 | Kwame Brown surgery successful on Thursday |
Kwame Brown underwent successful surgery to repair torn pectoral muscles on Thursday. |
Brown's timetable is set at three months and for all intents and purposes he should be considered done for the year. The Warriors are platooning Andris Biedrins and Ekpe Udoh with Brown out, and their value is put into perspective by their combined totals from Wednesday of nine points, five rebounds, and one block in 40 minutes of action. |

Fri Jan 13 2012 | 07:33 | Warriors looking to add a big man to roster |
Golden State is looking to add another big man after losing Kwame Brown (torn pectorals) for at least the next three months. |
There isn't much to choose from, but the Warriors will look to add someone inside with just Andris Biedrins and Ekpe Udoh as options on the roster currently. It's possible that the team could look into the possibility of adding Kyrylo Fesenko once again after almost signing him earlier this season. |

Thu Jan 12 2012 | 15:02 | Kwame Brown needs surgery, out three months |
Kwame Brown (torn pectorals) will be out at least three months. |
Brown needs surgery and we wouldn't expect to see him again this season. Andris Biedrins will see a little boost in minutes as the clear starting center and Ekpe Udoh will be the first big off the bench. Brown was averaging 6.3 points and 6.3 rebounds in 20.8 minutes per game before going down. The Warriors signed him to a one-year, $7 million contract in December. |

Wed Jan 11 2012 | 15:21 | Kwame Brown to have MRI on sore shoulder |
Kwame Brown didn't practice on Wednesday and will soon have an MRI on his ailing shoulder. |
If the MRI reveals any structural damage, the Warriors will be forced to make do with a two-headed 'monster' of Andris Biedrins and Ekpe Udoh. Stay tuned. |

Wed Jan 11 2012 | 02:36 | Kwame Brown leaves with right shoulder injury |
Kwame Brown had eight points and six rebounds in 20 minutes before leaving Tuesday's game with a right shoulder injury. |
He could have separated it and with Andris Biedrins out with a sprained ankle, Ekpe Udoh could be the starting center for Golden State until the other two are healthy. Udoh had zero points, but did add three boards and three blocks in 21 minutes. |

Sat Jan 7 2012 | 03:21 | Brown plays well enough with Biedrins out |
Kwame Brown started at center for injured Andris Biedrins (ankle) on Friday, scoring 13 points on 6-of-13 shooting with six rebounds, two assists, and a steal in 34 minutes. |
Brown was a better matchup for Andrew Bynum of the Lakers tonight, anyway, so it's possible Biedrins was given a night off based on that logic. Whatever the case may be, Brown is worth a look if you're desperate for a center but is likely still in at least a partial timeshare with Biedrins. |

Mon Jan 2 2012 | 19:24 | Kwame Brown plays well on Monday |
Kwame Brown had nine points and seven rebounds in Monday's loss. |
He is worth a close look if you're desperate for a center, as he's been outplaying Andris Biedrins lately. Just beware that he'll likely hurt your free throw percentage if you make a move for him. |

Mon Dec 19 2011 | 16:57 | Kwame Brown to make his GSW debut Tuesday |
Kwame Brown is expected to make his Warriors debut in Tuesday's exhibition game. |
The Warriors now have three centers and while Ekpe Udoh should be the most productive, Andris Biedrins and Kwame will help create a logjam in the middle for fantasy owners. |
