Overview
- The Nets signed undrafted rookie Grant Nelson to a 10-day contract on Feb. 27, filling the vacant 15th roster spot created after trade-deadline moves.
- Nelson played roughly 10 minutes in his NBA debut that night at Boston, posting 3 points, 4 assists and 2 blocks as Brooklyn fell 148-111.
- The 6-11 forward has averaged about 11.0 points and 6.0 rebounds in 23 games with the Long Island Nets after a seven-week layoff earlier this season for left knee soreness.
- Brooklyn now has six rookies on the roster; the team’s two-way slots are occupied, so this stint functions as a short evaluation period ahead of a potential March 4 decision.
- Nelson went undrafted out of Alabama in 2025, played Summer League with Brooklyn, signed a camp deal in October, was waived after preseason and assigned to Long Island.
