Keita Bates-Diop exercises his $2.65 million player option with the Nets ahead of free agency. He was sidelined with a stress fracture of the right tibia in March, missing the rest of the 2023-24 season.
Bates-Diop's limited contribution with the Nets included averaging 1.6 points, 0.6 rebounds, and 0.3 assists in 14 games. His potential with the team may evolve under new head coach Jordi Fernandez.
Despite exercising his player option, Bates-Diop's place on the Nets' roster remains uncertain. His salary can be an attractive trade asset at $2.65 million if Brooklyn decides to include him in future deals.
