Nets Promote Tyrese Martin to Standard NBA Contract

The Brooklyn Nets have officially converted Tyrese Martin's two-way contract to a standard NBA contract ahead of their game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, following Ben Simmons' recent buyout. Martin, who has averaged 7.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 36 games this season, reached the maximum limit for two-way players. Head coach Jordi Fernandez praised Martin's dedication and impact on the team's culture, stating that he deserves this opportunity. The Nets had an open roster spot available, allowing for Martin's promotion without any additional moves. This contract conversion ensures Martin can continue to contribute to the team for the remainder of the season and potentially beyond. The exact terms of his new deal remain undisclosed.
