Andre Brown's professional basketball career can be best described as a global odyssey.

The 32-year-old power forward's latest stop brought him to Tohoku to play for the Sendai 89ers, who released James Hughes earlier this week to make room for Brown on the roster.

Brown's signing was announced by Sendai (12-14) on Thursday. The 89ers return to action on Feb. 1 against the host Shimane Susanoo Magic.
