1:14pm: The Nets have officially signed McCall to a 10-day contract, the team confirmed today in a press release.
11:46am: The Nets are poised to sign G League guard Tahjere McCall to a 10-day contract, reports Michael Scotto of The Athletic (via Twitter). Brooklyn has an open spot on its 15-man roster, so no corresponding roster move will be necessary to accommodate McCall.
A former Tennessee State standout, McCall has spent his first two professional seasons with the Long Island Nets since going undrafted in 2017.
McCall’s numbers in the G League have been relatively modest – 9.4 PPG, 4.2 RPG, and 2.6 APG in 60 games (27.1 MPG) – but he’s a strong perimeter defender and will now get an opportunity to stick with Brooklyn for at least 10 days.
The Nets are already carrying 14 players on standard NBA contracts and a pair on two-way deals, so adding McCall will give them a full 17-man squad.
I still don’t understand why they haven’t added a big yet. Another guard? Maybe Dinwiddie is out longer than I think but I hope not. They have two centers Allen and Davis, 3 PFs all 6’7 and under and they bring in McCall. I really hope they get Kaminsky if he gets bought out who could be their poor man’s Brook Lopez.
