Cleveland ? Shannon Brown missed all five shots, made two turnovers and didn’t score in six minutes of Cleveland’s 92-74 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night.

After the game, he got swatted – by the Cavaliers.

The club decided not to pick up its contract option for 2008-09 on Brown, a former first-round draft pick from Michigan State whose rookie season was slowed by injuries.

The Cavs had until midnight to exercise the guard’s $1.1 million salary for next season.

Brown played in just 23 games last season because of a serious leg injury. The Cavs’ signing of Sasha Pavlovic to a three-year contract and addition of rookie Demetris Nichols may have altered plans for Brown.
