The Nets have signed guards Bryce Brown and Josh Gray, the team announced, according to Brian Lewis of the New York Post (Twitter link).
Both players seem likely to join the club’s G League affiliate in Long Island, Lewis notes in a separate tweet. If Brown and Gray signed Exhibit 10 contracts, they’ll be eligible to receive up to $50K by spending at least 60 days with Long Island this season.
Brown, 24, went unselected in the 2019 NBA Draft. He’s mostly played in the G League during his short career, averaging 13.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 26.7 minutes per game in two seasons.
Gray, 28, most recently played with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants in the G League bubble. He scored 13 points, dished out 5.8 assists and recorded 1.6 steals per game in 14 contests.
Brooklyn have also officially waived injured guard Edmond Sumner, who was recently acquired by the club. Sumner is expected to miss the 2021/22 season due to a torn Achilles, so the move had been expected.

Means Kyrie is a goner???? He’s been gone since he left Cavs.
What kind of buyout are the Nets going to give Kyrie?
They only put up with kyrie because of KD
He has no loyalty
I know they won’t do it. But they could get a lot for Kyrie.
Whether he said it or his agent put it out there, there’s a rumor that he’ll retire if he’s traded, so that may scare potential trade partners away.
Separately, I still have not heard anything new about where Sekou Doumbouya would go next, but, if the Nets have filled their 20-man preseason roster, that would block him from getting the two-way they have remaining now. I thought there was a chance they’d bring him back after he cleared waivers, but he’s more likely to go to LA.
