The Nets have signed free agents Terry Roberts and Tre Scott, the team announced (Twitter link via Keith Smith of Spotrac).
The terms of the contracts were not disclosed, but both likely signed Exhibit 10 deals, which would make each player eligible for a bonus worth up to $85,300 if he’s waived in the coming days and spends at least 60 days in the G League with the Long Island Nets.
A 6’3″ guard who went undrafted out of Georgia in 2023, Roberts caught on with Long Island in his first post-college season in 2023/24. However, his life was derailed in February 2024 after being shot in the upper chest by a stray bullet.
Roberts, who was temporarily placed on a ventilator as a result of the incident, eventually made a full recovery and returned to Long Island last season. In 31 games in ’24/25, he averaged 6.7 points, 5.2 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 25.7 minutes per contest.
Scott, a 6’8″ forward, has played professionally since 2020. He has spent time in Puerto Rico, France, and Canada but has primarily competed in the G League in recent years. He also had a two-game stint with the Cavaliers in ’21/22.
After a modest role with the Osceola Magic during the Tip-Off Tournament last fall, Scott joined Brooklyn’s NBAGL affiliate for the ’24/25 regular season. In 34 games (32.0 MPG) with Long Island, the 28-year-old averaged 11.6 PPG, 7.1 RPG, 2.0 APG and 1.4 SPG.
Brooklyn is now back at the offseason limit of 21 players under contract. The Nets opened up a pair of roster spots earlier on Monday when they waived Dariq Whitehead and Drew Timme.
