The Nets have waived guard Brandon Rachal, according to NBA.com’s transaction log. Because the move was technically completed on Monday, Rachal is on track to clear waivers later today, assuming he goes unclaimed.
Rachal, who went undrafted out of Tulsa in 2021, spent his first professional season with the Long Island Nets, Brooklyn’s G League affiliate. He averaged 13.6 PPG, 5.8 RPG, and 1.8 SPG in 28 appearances (27.3 MPG), posting a shooting line of .542/.233/.569.
Since the Nets already held Rachal’s NBAGL rights, the purpose of signing him to an Exhibit 10 deal and then waiving him was presumably to ensure that he receives a $50K bonus for returning to Long Island this season and spending at least 60 days with the G League club.
Brooklyn has one open spot on its 20-man training camp roster.
link to m.youtube.com … game more than lived up to expectations. Wembo w/ something like 35pts 5blks numerous gorgeous treys, scoring in every type of way while defending the rim at prime Mutombo levels. Scoot (28pts 8asts 4rebs) was just as dominant, lookin like the absolute best versions of Francis/Wall/Rose all wrapped in 1 as he led his squad to victory. Hugo Besson & Sidy Cissoko looked good too (France is clearly 2nd only to USA as far as depth of talent in basketball). Been awhile (prob 03 w/ Bron & Melo) since we seen 2 prospects this great in the same class
