Brown will have the opportunity to compete for a spot on the team’s 15-man roster, as the Cavs currently have just 12 fully guaranteed contracts.
Guard J.R. Smith appears likely to sign a contract with the team at some point, so Brown will essentially be competing with DeAndre Liggins, Jordan McRae, and Cory Jefferson for a roster spot on the team.
The 24-year-old guard has spent the last two seasons with the Brooklyn Nets, averaging 5.3 PPG, 2.1 RPG, and 1.2 APG in 109 total games with the team.
