BREAKING: Brooklyn Nets Sign 26-Year-Old Guard

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Brooklyn Nets have signed Edmond Sumner

On Tuesday morning, the Brooklyn Nets have been busy according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. 

First, Wojnarowski reported that they had signed T.J. Warren, and now he is reporting that they have come to terms with Edmond Sumner.  

Warren has only played four games in past two years with consecutive stress fractures in his left foot, but he's recovering can help Nets at both forward spots. Warren averaged nearly 20 points on 53% from the field in 2020. At 29, he'll be a free agent again next year. https://t.co/PWUAOt65cr

Sumner is fully recovered from a torn left Achilles that cost him the entire 2021-2022 season. He had been coming off his best NBA season with the Pacers prior to the injury, and now he'll join the Nets' backcourt rotation. https://t.co/5HfzZmkDZN

Wojnarowski: "Free agent Edmond Sumner has agreed to a deal with the Brooklyn Nets, sources tell ESPN. Sumner is fully recovered from a torn left Achilles that cost him the entire 2021-2022 season. He had been coming off his best NBA season with the Pacers prior to the injury, and now he'll join the Nets' backcourt rotation."

Ironically, neither player played in a game this season due to injury, and both played on the Indiana Pacers together the last time they were healthy. 

Sumner is 26-years-old, and had actually been traded to the Nets last season (when he was injured, so he was waived).  

Edmond Sumner was traded from the Pacers to the Nets back in 2021 (with a 2025 second round pick) for the draft rights to Juan Pablo Vaulet before being waived by Brooklyn.

Now he’s a Net again. https://t.co/bACx2zf3ab

He has career averages of 5.7 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game, and was the 52nd overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft.
