Grant Nelson Fantasy Stats

The Brooklyn Nets agreed to a two-way deal with forward/center Grant Nelson, agent Max Wiepking told Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. The 24-year-old fills Brooklyn's final two-way slot alongside Chaney Johnson and Tyler Bilodeau after spending last season between Long Island and Brooklyn. Nelson (knee) had his season cut short by patellar tendinitis after a February 10-day call-up in which he totaled 17 points, six rebounds, and five assists across four games. He earned that look by averaging 11.1 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 19.3 minutes for Long Island while shooting 54.9 percent from the field. With Julius Randle, Day'Ron Sharpe, Moritz Wagner, Danny Wolf, and Noah Clowney in the frontcourt mix, Nelson is more of a developmental big than a fantasy target.

Brooklyn Nets forward Grant Nelson is out for the remainder of Las Vegas Summer League, ClutchPoints' Erik Slater reports. No reason has been given. The Alabama product came to Vegas competing for a training camp invite or a two-way contract, and losing the rest of the schedule costs him evaluation reps he can't get back. Nelson spent last season with the G League's Long Island Nets, averaging 11.0 points and 6.0 rebounds on 55 percent shooting, and got his first NBA minutes on a 10-day deal in February, appearing in four games. That stint ended when patellar tendinitis shut down his season in March. He isn't a fantasy consideration, but a second straight summer without a roster spot would be a setback.
