The Los Angeles Lakers announced the release of guard Anthony Brown on Monday, surprisingly finalizing their roster with both Metta World Peace and Thomas Robinson as part of the final 15.
After the team previously waived Yi Jianlian earlier in the day, it was largely thought the last roster spot would come down to World Peace and Robinson, both on non-guaranteed contracts.
World Peace, 36, played in only two games in the preseason and did not make a shot. ESPN.com's Marc Stein and Ramona Shelburne previously reported last Friday the Lakers were considering World Peace for an assistant coaching job, though he preferred to continue playing.
