The Brooklyn Nets are signing 6’8” Long Island Nets forward Trevon Scott to a 10-day contract. With 10 days left in the season, the contract is likely to carry the 29-year-old through the end of the NBA season. The Long Island Nets concluded their season last night in the opening game of the G League playoffs, losing to the Osceola Magic in Florida.
Hoopshype’s Michael Scotto was first with the news…
Scott is the third player from Long Island to earn a call-up to Brooklyn this season, alongside Grant Nelson and Malachi Smith whose 10-day runs out this weekend. The Nets could in theory seek a late season hardship exception so many players out and keep both Smith and Scott. Scotto also reported that Danny Wolf is likely out for the season which ends in 10 days.
Currently in his second season with Brooklyn’s G League affiliate, the Long Island Nets, Scott has appeared in 47 games this season, averaging 12 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 1.1 steals in 27.9 minutes.
Undrafted out of Cincinnati in 2020, Scott has spent the vast majority of his career bouncing around the G League. He spent time with the affiliates of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Charlotte Hornets, Utah Jazz, Los Angeles Clippers, and Orlando Magic, while also playing internationally with the Calgary Surge, Leones de Ponce in Puerto Rico, and Fos Provence Basket in France.
At 29-years-old, Scott is the second oldest player on Brooklyn’s squad. He is just 38 days younger than the team’s oldest player, Terrance Mann.
Throughout his NBA career, the Cincinnati product has appeared in just two NBA games, each coming with the Cavaliers during the 2020 season. Over that span, he played 11 minutes while collecting six points, two rebounds, a steal, and a block.
His call-up provides a perfect example of how Long Island is looking to develop every player on their roster, not just rookies and two-ways, as we reported recently.
“We try to build all the players, of course. Priority guides the assignments in two ways, which is noted, but at the same time, we want to develop everyone,” Long Island’s head coach Mfon Udofia, told ND. “We’re not always going to have the two-way guys or assignment guys, so we want to develop all 10 players. We want to pour into these guys.”
After two productive seasons with the Long Island Nets, Scott will now get an opportunity to close the season in the NBA.
