Overview

• The team announced Wednesday that the 22-year-old forward has been released following the preseason swing in China.
• Zeng signed an Exhibit 10 deal for camp and played 10 minutes in Macao against the Suns, recording one steal and three fouls, with DNP-CDs in the other preseason games cited.
• NetsDaily reports Brooklyn also waived Malachi Smith and signed 6-foot-11 Alabama product Grant Nelson, bringing the roster to 19 and forcing at least one more standard cut before Monday’s deadline.
• Reporting indicates Tyrese Martin and Jalen Wilson are competing for the final standard roster spot, with the open two-way potentially going to an internal candidate and the option to add a third two-way still available.
• The team’s Chinese-language post referenced Zeng’s recovery from a prior back injury, and his G League rights would transfer to Long Island if he remains in the U.S.
