Overview

  • Local outlet NetsDaily reported that an injury scuttled Ricky Council IV’s expected Nets deal, with no details on severity and no team confirmation.
  • ESPN’s Shams Charania previously reported on August 1 that Council had a one-year agreement, attributing the news to agent Adie von Gontard.
  • Brooklyn has released a 21-player training camp roster, and camp opens Wednesday with two preseason games scheduled in China against the Suns.
  • Fanbo Zeng is listed on an Exhibit 10 contract rather than a two-way deal, as noted by NetsDaily and reflected in the camp roster.
  • The Nets must trim from 21 to 18 players for opening night, after recently waiving Keon Johnson and carrying several non-guaranteed deals into camp.
