The former Badger forward will head back to Summer League

With the conclusion of the 2022 NBA draft on Thursday night, Summer League roster news has started to trickle out.

A former Badger and someone who has been at Las Vegas NBA Summer League in the past will once again join a roster. Vitto Brown, who spent 2013-17 at Wisconsin, will join the Los Angeles Lakers’ Summer League squad. The news was first reported by Michael Sotto of HoopsHype.

Brown spent the past season with Real Betis in Spain’s ACB League, one of the top leagues in overseas basketball. The former Badger averaged 11 points and just over 4 rebounds per game. He participated in the 2021 NBA Summer League, joining the Phoenix Suns.
