Brown will come off the bench Thursday against the Pacers, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
After starting the past 10 games and averaging 7.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 29.0 minutes, Brown will be benched while coach Darvin Ham starts newly-acquired Rui Hachimura at forward next to LeBron James. Brown should remain in the rotation, but the Lakers could be getting Austin Reaves (hamstring) back as soon as Saturday, which could bring Brown's minutes down further.

Lakers' Troy Brown: Corrals career-high 17 boards
Rotowire
Brown ended Monday's 121-104 loss to the Nets with 11 points (4-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 17 rebounds and four assists across 31 minutes.
Brown made his ninth straight start Monday and attacked the boards with a vengeance, leading the Lakers with a career-high 17 rebounds. It was the third time this season that the forward has notched double-digit boards, though the last time he did so came back in late November. Brown has seen a healthy 28.4 minutes per game during the nine-game starting stretch, though he has posted just moderate production during that span, averaging 7.8 points, 5.2 boards, 1.8 assists and 1.6 three-pointers.

Lakers' Troy Brown: Start yields nothing Saturday
Rotowire
Brown finished with two points (1-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist over 27 minutes during Saturday's 125-121 overtime loss to the Celtics.
Brown remained in the starting lineup Saturday but once again failed to deliver. He has now started in eight straight games, logging 27.9 minutes per game. However, in that time he has been nothing more than a top-160 player, offering upside in turnovers and free throw percentage, barely. There is no reason to be holding him in any 12-team leagues, and even managers in deeper formats would be better off streaming his spot.

Lakers' Troy Brown: Cleared to play
Rotowire
Brown (quadriceps) is available to play Monday against Houston and will start, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
Brown was previously listed as probable on the injury report due to left quad soreness, so this news comes as no surprise. He's averaging 8.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.5 steals through four games in January, and he's set to make his second straight start with Lonnie Walker (knee) sidelined.

Lakers' Troy Brown: Late addition to injury report
Rotowire
Brown is probable for Monday's matchup against the Rockets due to left quadricep soreness, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Brown was a late addition to the injury report with a quad injury, but it appears the issue isn't severe and likely won't sideline him Monday. If that's the case, he'll presumably return to a reserve role after drawing a spot start Sunday, as Patrick Beverley (illness) is expected to reclaim his starting spot. However, Brown figures to still see a sizable role off the bench with Austin Reaves (hamstring) and Lonnie Walker (knee) still out.

Lakers' Troy Brown: Draws start against Philadelphia
Rotowire
Brown is starting Sunday's game against the 76ers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
Brown returned from a three-game absence Thursday against the Mavericks but saw plenty of run off the bench, logging eight points, four rebounds, an assist and a steal in 38 minutes during the double-overtime loss. He'll draw the start for the shorthanded Lakers on Sunday while Max Christie retreats to the bench.

Lakers' Troy Brown: Quiet despite hefty run in return
Rotowire
Brown amassed eight points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 38 minutes during Thursday's 119-115 double-overtime loss to the Mavericks.
Brown returned from a three-game absence due to a strained quad and logged a season-high 38 minutes. However, the substantial workload didn't result in big numbers, as he took just eight shots and didn't do much in terms of peripheral stats. Brown was a starter earlier in the campaign, but he's come off the bench in 16 of his past 18 appearances and doesn't have much fantasy value given his lack of production this season.

Lakers' Troy Brown: Questionable to face Denver
Rotowire
Brown (quadriceps) is questionable to play Monday against the Nuggets, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Brown has missed two games in a row due to a quadriceps issue, and it sounds as if he'll be a game-time call for this one as well. His potential return shouldn't affect many fantasy rosters, however. Brown is logging just 18.5 minutes per game over his past 10 appearances (two starts).

Brown recorded two of his best scoring games in back-to-back nights. The 23-year-old forward is shooting 11-of-13 from the field and 7-of-9 from three over that span. While it is unlikely Brown will maintain this level of efficiency, he is turning into a viable option off the bench for the Lakers.
