When Kevin Durant said he wasn’t going to play when the 2019-20 NBA season resumes in Orlando at Disney World on July 31 and Kyrie Irving reportedly expressed he would travel with the Brooklyn Nets but as an inactive player, that opened up two spots for players on the roster.
As the NBA started to iron out the details of which players could be added, Chris Chiozza and Jeremiah Martin seemed like the sensible additions with the Nets stars sidelined. Though, the Nets could still add other players from the G League or elsewhere.
Well, now it turns out the Nets may be able to keep both of their two-way players and add two others, too.
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the NBA is “planning to allow teams to bring up to 17 players per roster (including two-ways) into the resumed season.” Furthermore, J.R. Smith and Jamal Crawford are expected to be eligible, with Charania also reporting, “Players who have signed an NBA/G League deal this year or a previous year are expected to be available to sign in restarted season.”
