Before the Nets signed Lance Thomas or Donta Hall, even before they were linked to Michael Beasley and Jamal Crawford, Brooklyn was reportedly considering Justin Anderson as a substitute player option.
But the Nets signed Beasley, Crawford and Hall first. Then Thomas emerged as a substitute player candidate, leaving Anderson’s status in question — even though he was in the bubble with Brooklyn.
Not long after Thomas signed with the team, it was reported Beasley had tested positive for COVID-19, left the bubble and his return was in question. Two days after the report of Beasley’s departure came, another surfaced indicating he wasn’t coming back — giving Anderson another opportunity to sign with the Nets.
And now Shams Charania of The Athletic is reporting Anderson is set to be a member of the organization once again.
The Brooklyn Nets are signing G/F Justin Anderson and he will join the team after signing later today, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.

Anderson last played for the Nets’ G League affiliate, the Long Island Nets, after logging three games for Brooklyn while on a 10-day contract.
