"In four games with the Nets, Nelson averaged 4.3 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.3 blocks, shooting .556 percent overall and .700 from the foul line. In a 106-102 loss to Cleveland on March 1, Nelson had 11 points, four boards and three blocks in just over 20 minutes against the Cavaliers."
""(He's) a very good basketball player," Brooklyn coach Jordi Fernandez said of Nelson over the weekend. "Everything he does, he does it well. He doesn't over-dribble or try to do too much. Everything is efficient. His size is great. He's a multi-positional defender, very good playmaker, fast. All of those things have been very good.""
"Nelson's next move could be back to Long Island, with the Nets' affiliate still holding his G League rights and for the run-in before their playoffs. But any NBA team can sign Nelson, should they want."
The Brooklyn Nets declined to offer Grant Nelson a second 10-day contract after signing the 23-year-old rookie following the draft as part of their rebuilding roster overhaul. Nelson performed well during his initial 10-day stint, averaging 4.3 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks across four games while shooting efficiently. In a notable performance against Cleveland, he recorded 11 points, four rebounds, and three blocks in over 20 minutes. Coach Jordi Fernandez praised Nelson's efficiency, multi-positional defense, and playmaking ability. Nelson's G League rights remain with the Nets' Long Island affiliate, though any NBA team can now sign him as a free agent.
