On Thursday, a report surfaced about David Nwaba’s future in Brooklyn and it indicated he was set to be released by the Nets. On Friday, Brooklyn officially requested waivers on Nwaba.
The Nets signed Nwaba last summer and he appeared in 20 games before he tore his Achilles, which led to surgery and ended his 2019-20 campaign.
But it appears Nwaba may not be the only player the team is set to waive.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Nets are going to move on from two-way forward Henry Ellenson, as well. Additionally, Woj is reporting the Nets are looking for another guard. The player will likely be on a two-way deal or a 10-day contract.
