Justin Anderson’s time in Brooklyn was brief. He signed a 10-day contract with the Nets while the team was in search of a player to fill David Nwaba’s spot on their roster, after the team waived the wing following surgery to repair his torn right Achilles — an injury he suffered on December 19.
With Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, one of Brooklyn’s two-way players, performing so well, Anderson didn’t get much of a chance to prove himself in games. The Nets elected to release Anderson and sign Luwawu-Cabarrot to a 10-day contract.
As a result of being waived, Anderson went back to where the Nets got him from, the Toronto Raptors’ G League affiliate, Raptors 905.
But it looks like Brooklyn wants Anderson back in the organization.
Kelsea O’Brien of Raptors Republic is reporting Raptors 905 is trading Anderson to the Long Island Nets, Brooklyn’s G League affiliate, in exchange for former Nets two-way player Henry Ellenson — who still needs to sign his G League contract with Long Island for the trade to go through.
