However, when the two prepared to leave the establishment, Brown inadvertently entered the wrong vehicle, sparking an altercation between himself and the other men in the car.

He was jumped by a group described as “three or more individuals” and was hit over the head with a bottle.</p><p>Police received an anonymous tip and arrived on the scene, though according to the police report — obtained by The Athletic — Brown refused to divulge details and merely wanted to be taken to the hospital.</p><p>Local law enforcement and Brown’s team at Priority Sports are hoping to work together to investigate the incident.</p><p>Brown is reportedly still dealing with physical issues, as one might expect. But Porter apparently played a vital role in putting a stop to the assault.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The incident should be treated as an isolated event without any connection to the past or any ulterior motive by the assailant.

ClutchPoints has also followed Brown’s move <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-news-bucks-sterling-brown-a-victim-of-police-brutality-to-participate-in-nbas-return/">into the realm of athlete activism. </a></p><p>Before he went to the Rockets, Sterling Brown was part of the Milwaukee Bucks’ <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bucks-video-george-hill-sterling-brown-deliver-statement-following-game-5-boycott/">very brief strike in the Orlando bubble</a> after the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wis. The bubble playoffs were delayed so that Brown and other players could call attention to national problems in policing until they felt the league and outside entities were willing to more directly recognize and confront the problems at hand.</p><p>Sterling Brown is — with other NBA players and the rest of America — awaiting the verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial in Minneapolis, connected to the death of George Floyd. Final arguments in the case began on Monday.</p><p>There is certainly a lot on Sterling Brown’s mind. The wounds to his face likely pale in comparison to the pain he is wrestling with inside, though he is very fortunate his injuries were not worse.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, he was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers in the second round of the 2017 NBA Draft out of SMU. He would be traded to Milwaukee just a month after being drafted.</p><p>In his three years with the Bucks, Brown has served as a role player for Milwaukee, averaging only 15.7 minutes per game in his career thus far. During that span, he’s compiled 5.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, and an assist per game.</p><p>Since the beginning of the offseason, the Bucks have added a few wing players to the roster, including the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-news-jrue-holiday-trade-features-bucks-pelicans-thunder-nuggets-and-a-lot-of-moving-parts/">blockbuster trade</a> for Jrue Holiday. Provided that, Brown was going to be an odd man out as Milwaukee wouldn’t be able to give him many minutes on the floor.</p><p>On the other hand, he’ll now get a chance to prove himself with a new team in the Rockets.

As part of the settlement, the city of Milwaukee will admit to the unconstitutional conduct and commit to improve policing practices. Any reforms must be implemented within 180 days of when the settlement is formally agreed upon.</p><p>More details here:</p><blockquote>“Because of the unpredictability of a trial, and the City’s risk for exposure to compensatory and punitive damages, as well as additional attorney fees and costs, we recommend that this matter be settled for that amount,” Milwaukee city attorney Tearman Spencer and assistant city attorney Robin Pederson wrote in a letter to the City Council.</blockquote><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Along with financial settlement in Sterling Brown’s lawsuit stating officers used excessive force with Taser/racially profiled him, the city of Milwaukee would admit to constitutional violation and commitment to incorporate changes to the Police Department operating procedures. <a target="_blank" href="https://t.co/H9uiJlPLbE">https://t.co/H9uiJlPLbE</a></p><p>— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1325797529431273472?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 9, 2020</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="und" dir="ltr"><a target="_blank" href="https://t.co/Zp0kVP61vU">pic.twitter.com/Zp0kVP61vU</a></p><p>— Milwaukee Bucks (@Bucks) <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/Bucks/status/1325857335668076545?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 9, 2020</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>The Bucks wing filed a complaint stating he was unlawfully arrested while waiting to receive a citation for a double-parked car on Jan. 26, 2018. His lawsuit, which he formally filed the following June, claimed he was tasered and arrested because he is African American. He was not charged in the incident.</p><p>In Sept. 2019, the city offered Brown a $400,000 settlement without an admission of liability, which Brown turned down.</p><p>Brown’s recent history as a victim of unlawful policing against a Black person was one of the reasons he, along with George Hill, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bucks-video-george-hill-sterling-brown-deliver-statement-following-game-5-boycott/" rel="noopener noreferrer">took on a leadership role</a> in the Bucks’ locker room before the team’s decision to wildcat strike before their playoff game against the Orlando Magic on Aug. 26 following the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin by police officers.</p><p>He has become an increasingly active voice and <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/29330334/bucks-sterling-brown-sees-playing-chance-social-justice-campaign">prominent advocate</a> for police reform and social justice in the Milwaukee area.</p><p>Brown has played the entirety of his three-year career with the Bucks and is the team’s NBPA representative.

In addition to that, players, such as Brooklyn Nets star point guard Kyrie Irving, have expressed skepticism in playing again and distracting from monumental protests occurring nationwide, calling out police brutality and voicing support for the Black Lives Matter movement.</p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/E_Woodyard/status/1273719436286066689">Per ESPN’s Eric Woodyard</a> on the Bucks’ Sterling Brown:</p><blockquote>“I don’t disagree with guys that want to sit out, they’re definitely doing it for a good cause, they’re doing it for a good reason, but me, personally, I feel like it’s an opportunity for me to use more of our platform and our resources to continue to bring awareness and shine light. It’s going to be the same thing if they sat out so it’s all for a greater cause. We’ve got to focus on that. Right now is not the time to try to divide us because some people want to sit out and some people want to play. No, we’re all in this together as a community, everybody’s not going to always see eye-to-eye.”</blockquote><p>Brown, the conscience of the Bucks, continued to advocate for a diverse plan of attacking the attention and awareness of people in order to promote change, saying there is not one way to achieve goals for addressing “white America.”</p><p>The Bucks sit in first place in the Eastern Conference and the team, powered by last year’s league MVP forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, is favored to come out of the conference and compete for the 2020 title.</p><p>—</p><p><i>Follow ClutchPoints on </i><a href="https://twitter.com/clutchpointsapp"><i>Twitter</i></a><i> &amp; </i><a href="https://www.instagram.com/clutchpoints/?hl=en"><i>Instagram</i></a><i>, and like us on </i><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ClutchPoints/"><i>Facebook</i></a><i>.
