Overview

  • Council was waived by the Philadelphia 76ers late last week after two seasons and 105 total appearances.
  • In 2024–25, he led the Sixers in games played with 73 and averaged 7.3 points and 2.9 rebounds per contest.
  • His one-year agreement with Brooklyn is expected to come at the league’s minimum salary with little or no guarantee.
  • Brooklyn holds five first-round picks and is looking to Council’s experience as a mentor for its incoming rookie class.
  • The Nets’ decision on restricted free agent Cam Thomas could determine how large a role Council plays this season.
