The Nets waived guard Dion Brown<\/a> and forward Dain Dainja<\/a> on Sunday, per NBA.com\u2019s transaction log<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Both players were on Exhibit 10 contracts with Brooklyn and could be headed to the G League to play for the Long Island Nets. They\u2019ll both be eligible for a bonus worth up to $91K if they spend at least 60 days with Long Island.<\/p>\n

Brown went undrafted out of Saint Louis earlier this year, while Dainja didn\u2019t hear his name called in the 2025 draft and spent last season in the G League with the Sioux Falls Skyforce, Miami\u2019s affiliate team.<\/p>\n

The Nets now have two openings on their preseason roster, which currently features 19 players.<\/p>\n

According to the transaction log, the Cavaliers released guards Kadary Richmond<\/a> and Curtis Jones<\/a> on Friday. They were cut to make roster space for Jaxson Robinson<\/a> and Noam Yaacov<\/a> \u2014 both signed<\/a> with Cleveland that same day.<\/p>\n

Richmond, who signed a 10-day contract with the Wizards in February, had a solid 2025\/26 regular season in the NBAGL with the Capital City Go-Go. Jones, 24, spent all of last season on a two-way contract with the Nuggets, though he only played 88 total minutes over 10 appearances.<\/p>\n

Richmond and Jones seem likely to open the 2026\/27 campaign in the G League with the Cleveland Charge after being waived from their Exhibit 10 deals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Nets waived guard Dion Brown and forward Dain Dainja on Sunday, per NBA.com\u2019s transaction log.
