Nets Waive Grant Nelson and Hunter Cattoor Ahead of Roster Cutdown

Brooklyn still must drop one standard contract by Monday to reach the opening-night limit.

Overview

  • Both players are expected to join the Long Island Nets and can earn up to $85,300 by spending 60 days in the G League under their Exhibit 10 terms.
  • Brooklyn currently lists 16 players on standard contracts, including 14 guaranteed, and must waive or trade one player to be compliant.
  • The Nets have one two-way slot open, but any move to place a current standard-contract player in that spot would require clearing waivers first.
  • Team decisions are influenced by salary-floor considerations as Brooklyn aims to be above the minimum before the season begins.
  • Nelson went undrafted in June after playing at Alabama and North Dakota State; Cattoor went undrafted in 2024 and averaged 8.5 points on 37.2% three-point shooting in France last season.
