Brooklyn finally completed its roster, bringing back Grant Nelson.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Nets signed the 24-year-old Nelson to the last of its three two-way spots.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 7-footer played last season in both Brooklyn and G-League affiliate Long Island, and rounds out the roster for this upcoming campaign.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The move was first reported by HoopsHype<\/a> and confirmed by The Post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nelson joins rookie second-round pick Tyler Bilodeau and second-year pro Chaney Johnson \u2014 who excelled in Las Vegas Summer League \u2014 as the two-ways.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Nets also have 15 players on standard deals.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Brooklyn can still add players for training camp.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nelson logged just four appearances for Brooklyn last season after joining the team on an Exhibit 10 deal. <\/p>\n

He\u2019d played 23 times for Long Island, averaging 11.1 points and 5.9 boards on 54.9 percent shooting to earn his call-up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

His season was eventually cut short by patellar tendinitis, and he did not play in Summer League, though he did accompany the Nets to Las Vegas and continue to rehab.<\/p>\n

Undrafted in 2025, the former Alabama Crimson Tide standout averaged nearly 12 points per game while in the SEC and previously earned first team All-Summit League honors while at North Dakota State, where he played his first three college seasons. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brooklyn finally completed its roster, bringing back Grant Nelson.\u00a0 The Nets signed the 24-year-old Nelson to the last…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":338588,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,355,99,21,9,24,63,319],"class_list":["post-338587","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-nets","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-nba","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/338587","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=338587"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/338587\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/338588"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=338587"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=338587"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=338587"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
