The NBA's deadline for two-way player contracts saw the Brooklyn Nets call up G League guard Tyson Etienne while waiving Kendall Brown. Etienne, a talented shooter with impressive stats, averaged 20 points in G League games and leads in 3-pointers made this season, fulfilling a dream for his family. Meanwhile, Brown, despite a solid performance in Long Island, wasn't granted an opportunity with the Nets and was released. Teams can convert two-way contracts to standard but cannot replace them after the deadline.
"I just got a FaceTime call from my son before he was boarding a plane and it's just crazy. It immediately took me back to... all of those emotions came up."
Etienne, an Englewood, N.J. native, has showcased elite shot-making and relentless offense... averaging 20 points on 50.6/47.5/79 splits.
He leads the G League in 3-pointers made this season with 84, solidifying his impact and potential to contribute at the NBA level.
Brown originally signed a two-way deal with Brooklyn on Feb. 26 but was never called up, despite averaging 15.7 points and 5.2 rebounds.
