Lorenzo Brown has pledged to come to the pre-Olympic tournament. The Maccabi Tel Aviv coordinator met with the president of the Spanish union in Madrid.

Brown has suffered from several injuries this season, and recently he is carrying a back injury that caused him to miss several games. "They are building on him," says Alyssa Aguilar, president of Spanish Basketball Association. Brown will celebrate his 34th birthday this August, and may celebrate it in the Spanish team's uniform in Paris.
