Charleston Lowgators News Release
CHARLESTON, S.C. (January 26) Charleston Lowgators guard Tierre Brown has signed a 10-day contract with the New Orleans Hornets, making him the fourth Gatorade Callup of the season for the National Basketball Development League.
Brown is the second Charleston player to be called up to the NBA in the last 12 days. Forward Ime Udoka just completed a 10-day assignment with the Los Angeles Lakers and will return to Charleston to take the vacant spot on the Lowgators roster. Since the NBDL began competition in November 2001, 20 players have received 26 Gatorade Callups to play for NBA teams.
Brown, in his second season with the Lowgators, was averaging 17.6 points, 6.9 assists and 3 rebounds in 21 games. The McNeese St. product was called up last year by the Cleveland Cavaliers after spending the entire 2001-2002 season with the Houston Rockets.
The Lowgators face the Columbus Riverdragons on Thursday at Audie Murphy Gym in front of a capacity crowd composed predominately of troops from the U.S. Army Infantry Training Brigade and Reservist Group 2145 at Fort Benning, Ga.
