October 15: First reported in June, Nelson’s Exhibit 10 deal with the Nets is official, the team announced today (Twitter link via Sharif Phillips-Keaton of Nets Wire).
It’s unclear whether Nelson will still get the chance to compete for a two-way contract (as noted below), given how late in the preseason he’s joining the club. But Brooklyn does still have an open two-way slot on its roster.
June 26: The Nets are signing Alabama forward Grant Nelson to an Exhibit 10 contract, according to his agency, Gersh Basketball (Twitter link). He’ll compete for one of Brooklyn’s two-way contracts in training camp, tweets Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.
Nelson played his first three college seasons at North Dakota State before transferring to Alabama for his final two years. He averaged 11.5 points and 7.6 rebounds per game as a super-senior.
He helped Alabama make two deep runs in the NCAA Tournament. His team went to the Final Four in 2024 before making it to the Elite Eight this past season.
Exhibit 10 deals are non-guaranteed contracts, otherwise known as training camp deals. If Nelson were to be waived and spend at least 60 days with Brooklyn’s G League affiliate in Long Island, he would gain a bonus worth up to $85,300.
I thought they were going to make a deal with the Spanish kid Almansa.
He’s apparently signing with the Sixers.
Sean Marks Sucks.
