Overview
- Zeng, 22, was released after joining Brooklyn on an Exhibit 10 deal and competing for the team’s final two-way slot.
- During the Macao exhibitions, he played 10 minutes in the first game against the Suns and did not appear in the second.
- The team’s Weibo statement referenced his return from an April lumbar transverse process fracture, a detail not noted in the English release.
- Grant Nelson, an undrafted 6-foot-11 Alabama big who played for Brooklyn in Summer League, signed and is expected to funnel to Long Island.
- With 17 standard contracts and two two-ways on the books, the Nets must trim at least one standard deal and resolve Nelson’s spot by the cutdown date, with the open two-way also reported to be under consideration.
