If Sterling Brown’s name sounds familiar in this context, that makes sense. Brown is the same guy who was unnecessarily manhandled and tased byMilwaukee police back in 2018. Brown sued, and eventually settled on $750,000 from the city of Milwaukee after the video from the interaction was released.

The Houston Rockets would go on to say that Sterling Brown is expected to make a full recovery. Hopefully there will be justice, and we see him back on the court very soon.
