Nets Finalize Day'Ron Sharpe Deal, Add E.J. Liddell on Two-Way

The moves preserve cap space to position Brooklyn for decisions on a crowded roster.

Overview

  • Brooklyn officially re-signed Day'Ron Sharpe and signed E.J. Liddell to a two-way contract, the team announced Wednesday.
  • Sharpe’s contract is reported at two years and $12.5 million with a second-year team option, after he averaged 7.9 points and 6.6 rebounds in 18.1 minutes last season.
  • Liddell, 24, was the 41st pick in 2022 and, after an ACL tear wiped out his first year, has logged only 20 NBA games but posted 15.7 points and 6.6 rebounds per game in the G League last season.
  • Cap analysts indicate Brooklyn still holds more than $10 million in room, reflecting the team’s strategy of timing and structuring deals to maintain flexibility.
  • The roster now lists two two-way players (Tyson Etienne and Liddell) with one two-way slot open, and restricted free agent Cam Thomas remains unsigned with an October 1 qualifying-offer deadline and trade possibilities if no agreement is reached.
