Josh Minott Gets Extended Run With Nets in Return to Boston

Brooklyn is using this stretch to evaluate Josh Minott for a rotation role.

Overview

  • After a brief debut two days earlier, Minott logged 16 minutes against the Celtics and finished with nine points and two rebounds in a 148-111 loss.
  • He first saw the floor for Brooklyn in a five-minute stint during a 126-110 defeat to the Spurs, recording one assist and two steals.
  • Boston traded Minott to the Nets on Feb. 5 for $110,000 in a salary move tied to avoiding the luxury tax.
