Brooklyn Nets announce training camp roster

The Brooklyn Nets announced their full training camp roster today via a press release. The Nets will enter training camp and the preseason with a 20-man roster, along with head coach Jordi Fernández and nine assistant coaches.

Brooklyn will of course be led by Cam Thomas, Nicolas Claxton and other veterans, but the biggest story in training camp is the additions of young talent. Yongxi ‘Jacky’ Cui recently signed a double contract with the Nets, and the team also brought in Ziaire Williams, Amari Bailey and Tyrese Martin. Bailey and Martin are two-way, but Williams looks to have a major bounce-back season after a disappointing NBA career thus far.

Other players to watch are Killian Hayes and Ben Simmons. Hayes will be looking to revive his career after being released by the Detroit Pistons last season, and Simmons will be looking to have a career resurgence after a couple of All-Star seasons with the Philadelphia 76ers. He battled injuries, limiting his final seasons in Brooklyn.

The Nets begin practice in Brooklyn at the HSS Training Center on Tuesday, October 1st. Camp ends Monday, Oct. 7, but will wrap up in San Diego as the Nets travel there on Oct. 5 before tipping off the preseason against the LA Clippers. .

After Brooklyn plays LA, the Nets will return to New York to play the Washington Wizards at the Barclays Center. After the second preseason game, the team will travel up the New Jersey Turnpike to the Wells Fargo Center to face the 76ers. The Nets will close out the preseason against the Toronto Raptors at home.
