Nets Introduce Ochai Agbaji, Josh Minott After Deadline Moves in Win Over Wizards

Coach Jordi Fernández says both newcomers will have chances to earn roles in a defense-first rotation.

Overview

  • Brooklyn acquired Josh Minott from the Celtics for cash considerations and added Ochai Agbaji from the Raptors ahead of the trade deadline.
  • The Nets announced both players were available Saturday, yet neither played in a 127-113 victory over the Wizards at Barclays Center.
  • Fernández praised their fit and emphasized an open evaluation process, asking them to show what they can bring before carving out minutes.
  • To create roster space, the Nets waived Cam Thomas, Haywood Highsmith and Tyrese Martin around the deadline.
  • Minott, a 6-foot-8 wing who flashed efficient shooting earlier this season, arrives with a $2.58 million team option that gives Brooklyn short-term control.
