Brooklyn Nets add center Grant Nelson via ten-day deal

The transaction elevates the seven-footer to the team's active NBA roster following a strong showing within their developmental system. Nelson, an Alabama alumnus who went unselected during the 2025 NBA Draft, has spent the current season diligently honing his craft with the Long Island Nets in the NBA G League. His consistent production proved impossible for management to ignore. Across twenty-three appearances for the affiliate squad, the center averaged 11.1 points alongside 5.9 rebounds per contest.

Furthermore, he displayed offensive efficiency, shooting 54.9 percent from the floor and an impressive 82.6 percent from the charity stripe. These solid contributions convinced the organization to award him this promotion. Now, Nelson receives a valuable opportunity to prove his overall worth, aiming to convert this temporary agreement into a permanent spot in the Nets' rotation.
