Overview
- Grant Nelson agreed to a two-way contract with the Nets, a move reported by his agent and confirmed by multiple outlets on Friday, September 4, 2026.
- The deal fills Brooklyn’s third and final two-way slot alongside Chaney Johnson and Tyler Bilodeau and brings the team to its planned offseason roster capacity.
- Nelson went undrafted in 2025 and spent most of 2025–26 with the Long Island Nets, averaging about 11.1 points and 6.0 rebounds across 23 G League games.
- He earned a late-season 10-day NBA call-up last February and appeared in four games, but patellar tendinitis ended his season and kept him out of Summer League while he rehabbed.
- Under two-way rules Nelson can play in up to 50 regular-season NBA games and would earn roughly $678,882 if his deal remains through the league guarantee date, giving him a clear path back to the NBA roster.
