"Brown was a key x-factor for the Denver Nuggets during their 2023 NBA championship run. After the team celebrated their victory and moved into the 2023 offseason, Brown hit free agency. During the team parade, he highlighted that re-signing with the Nuggets was a priority for him. However, Brown decided to chase the bigger payday, signing a two-year, $45 million deal with the Indiana Pacers."
"Bruce Brown's time in Toronto can really be summed up as a period of trying to find a way to get rid of him, whether through a trade or a buyout. In the end, Brown stayed in Toronto for two seasons (not full), making a total of 52 appearances. It wasn't until the Raptors leveraged Brown's contract as part of their aggressive pursuit of Brandon Ingram at this past trade deadline, where he then joined the New Orleans Pelicans for a brief period."
Bruce Brown served as an important role player for the Denver Nuggets during their 2023 championship. He entered free agency and, despite expressing a desire to re-sign in parade remarks, signed a two-year, $45 million contract with the Indiana Pacers. Brown played 33 games for Indiana before being traded to the Toronto Raptors as the primary contract to match Pascal Siakam. His time in Toronto involved efforts to move him via trade or buyout, totaling 52 appearances across parts of two seasons. The Raptors later used his contract to pursue Brandon Ingram, sending Brown to the New Orleans Pelicans briefly. Brown returned to Denver in September 2025 and stated he never wanted to be with the Raptors.
