The Brooklyn Nets signed D’Andre Davis to a partially guaranteed standard NBA contract, league sources told @hoopshype. Davis will earn $85,300 guaranteed. He’s expected to be waived, and that money will count against the cap. Similar deal to David Muoka, who was also waived. https://t.co/q5kp2anWic

The Brooklyn Nets still have some matters to take care of before the 2025-26 NBA regular season begins next week with Media Day and training camp tipping off. Brooklyn has made plenty of moves to set up the roster ahead of a training camp that is hopefully competitive, but the franchise is also trying to be compliant with the salary floor by the time the season starts.
The Nets signed forward D’Andre Davis to a partially-guaranteed standard NBA contract on Wednesday, according to HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto. Scotto noted that Davis will have $85,300 guaranteed to him as a result of the contract, but he is expected to be waived, a move that would make it easier for the team to retain him for the Long Island Nets, Brooklyn’s G League afiliate.
Davis, 24, went undrafted in the 2025 NBA Draft after a college career that saw him play for Louisville and Seton Hall before playing his fifth and final season at Ole Miss. Davis was able to make Brooklyn’s Las Vegas Summer League team and while he did not play as much as the rookies and some of the younger players, Davis had some solid moments on the floor.
Davis played four games for the Nets in the summer league and he averaged 4.8 points and 1.8 rebounds per game while shooting 28.6% from the field and 20.0% from three-point land. Davis doesn’t seem to be a factor for Brooklyn in training camp as Scotto notes that the former Ole Miss Rebel could follow the same path as center David Muoka, who was signed and waived by the team over the course of 24 hours.
From the outside, it looks like Brooklyn is making sure that Davis is given something of value for allowing the Nets to make their salary cap goals while he tries to find his place in the league at the same time. If Davis is ultimately destined for the G League, the hope is that he can produce enough to be part of a rebuild that is still in the early stages at this point.
