Justin Anderson officially signs with Nets as substitute player

Following Michael Beasley’s departure from the Disney bubble, the Brooklyn Nets have signed Justin Anderson.

Justin Anderson is officially a member of the Brooklyn Nets organization once again. The team announced the forward signed with the franchise on Saturday as a substitute player for the remainder of the 2019-20 season.

Anderson is the fifth substitute player the Nets have signed ahead of the NBA’s restart in the Disney World bubble. Though, the first substitute player Brooklyn signed, Michael Beasley, has reportedly left the Disney bubble after testing positive for COVID-19.

With Beasley gone, the other substitute players on the Nets roster — in addition to Anderson — are Jamal Crawford, Lance Thomas and Donta Hall.

Anderson appeared in three games for Brooklyn this season while on a 10-day contract.

After his contract with Brooklyn wasn’t renewed, he rejoined the organization as a member of the Nets’ G League affiliate, the Long Island Nets.

With Long Island, Anderson averaged 20.5 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game over the course of 16 games.
