The American guard failed to report despite being under contract, with the two sides far apart on the price of his release

The relationship between Pallacanestro Trieste and Markel Brown has reached a complete breakdown. The American guard unilaterally informed the club that he would not report just days before the August 19 opening of training camp, despite remaining under contract.

Trieste takes a hard line

According to Il Piccolo, general manager Michael Arcieri has imposed a $5,000 fine for every day Brown remains absent. Trieste is also reportedly demanding $200,000 to release him, while his representatives have offered between $60,000 and $70,000.

The dispute has also damaged the personal relationship between Arcieri and Brown. The two spoke on August 1 and agreed to meet in Trieste before the guard suddenly changed his position.
