Nets Re-Sign Guard Tyson Etienne on Two-Way Deal

The Brooklyn Nets have re-signed guard Tyson Etienne to a two-way contract for the upcoming season, continuing their strategy of retaining young talent and building roster continuity. Etienne, a Wichita State alum and 25 years old, appeared in seven games with the Nets last season, averaging 7.9 points, 1.7 assists, and 1.3 rebounds, alongside strong performances in the G League with the Long Island Nets, where he averaged nearly 20 points and shot efficiently from the field and three-point range. This move follows the Nets’ earlier decisions to keep several key players, signaling a roster largely set for the 2025-26 season, with limited flexibility for additional free-agent acquisitions. The team is focused on development under head coach Jordi Fernandez and is not expected to contend immediately, prioritizing stability and growth over major roster changes. Etienne’s return on a two-way deal indicates the Nets' commitment to his progression and their emphasis on nurturing promising players within their system. The signing also aligns with the Nets' historic draft strategy, having selected five first-round picks recently to bolster their future core.
