Brooklyn Nets rescind qualifying offer for Markel Brown

People around here have learned a lot about the rough side of professional sports this week. Unfortunately, it looks like former Oklahoma State Cowboy Markel Brown has learned a similar lesson. After making a qualifying offer last week, the Brooklyn Nets have reportedly rescinded that offer which would have paid the second year guard $1.08 million.

This would make Brown an unrestricted free agent, open to go where he chooses but he may have missed out a spot that has since been filled in the last five days,

In 2015-16, Brown averaged 5.9 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 15.8 minutes per game.
