Killian Hayes' brief tenure with the Brooklyn Nets ended after a 10-day contract, which expired following a loss to the Detroit Pistons. Despite showing some improvement by averaging nine points, three rebounds, and 5.2 assists in six games, the Nets opted not to extend his contract. Head coach Jordi Fernandez praised Hayes' increased aggression in offense after a slow start, particularly highlighted by strong performances against the Thunder and Trail Blazers. With the return of D'Angelo Russell, the Nets now have an open roster spot filled by Hayes' departure, and his future in the NBA remains uncertain.
"Is he always going to make them? No. But we need everybody to play with that edge and define who we are, and it was good," Fernandez said. "The pace was good, the attempts were good, and I was happy with the way he played."
Hayes averaged nine points, three rebounds and 5.2 assists in six games with Brooklyn, proving he could step up when needed despite the team's struggles.
