After the Brooklyn Nets beat the Miami Heat in their preseason finale on Wednesday, the Nets had more to announce after the game.
The Nets announced on Wednesday that they have signed Kennedy Chandler and Patrick Gardner.
Chandler, 21, was the 38th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft and spent one season with the Memphis Grizzlies before being waived. Chandler played for Brooklyn’s summer league team in Las Vegas and made an impact using his speed and athleticism to make some jaw-dropping plays.
Gardner, 24, went undrafted in the 2023 NBA Draft and after that, he played in the summer league with the Miami Heat. Gardner, who is Egyptian, played for Egypt in the 2023 FIBA World Cup and had some solid games for them as well.
From looking at the roster, it seems that Chandler and Gardner will be part of Brooklyn’s G League affiliate, the Long Island Nets, for this upcoming season.
