Pro basketball news
The Brooklyn Nets have officially welcomed back Devils Lake alum Grant Nelson.
The team announced Friday that it has signed Nelson to a two-way contract.
Nelson spent most of last season with the Nets’ G-League affiliate, the Long Island Nets. He played in 17 games, averaging 12.8 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists. He later made his NBA debut, appearing in four games with 35 minutes played, 17 points, six rebounds and five assists. He was with Brooklyn on a 10-day contract but did not receive a second 10-day once that time expired.
His season was cut short due to patellar tendinitis.
Nelson will have another chance to fight for NBA playing time this season.
