Brooklyn Nets Sign Former Cincinnati Star to 10-Day Deal

The Brooklyn Nets are continuing to give their G League players opportunities in their final stretch of the season. According to Mike Scotto of HoopsHype, the team is calling up Trevon Scott and signing him to a 10-day hardship deal.

The move comes after the Nets sent Malachi Smith back down to their G League affiliate in Long Island, as well as after Danny Wolf's injury. The seven-foot rookie sprained his ankle in a March 22 loss against the Sacramento Kings.

Scott is a former Cincinnati Bearcat, spending five years with the program. He redshirted his first year, spending the following two as a role player off the bench. In his junior season, Scott became a starter and averaged a double-double as a senior. He put up 11.4 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.5 steals across 30 games, posting 49-29-61 shooting splits.

The 6-foot-8 forward went undrafted in 2020, signing to play in Puerto Rico before finding his way to the G League. He first signed with the Salt Lake City Stars after being waived by the Utah Jazz. What followed was a six-season stint with six G League teams. He managed to play two games with the Cleveland Cavaliers, recording totals of six points, two rebounds, a steal and a block.

Scott has spent the last two seasons with the Long Island Nets, averaging 10.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 33 games on 43-31-56 shooting splits.

Brooklyn has six games left in its season at 18-58. The Nets have four games left in a five-game home stand, most recently losing to the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday, 117-86. They've been spreading out minutes over the last few weeks, especially amid the absence of rotation players like Michael Porter Jr., Day'Ron Sharpe, Egor Dёmin and more.

Brooklyn is currently second in the lottery standings, meaning it has the best possible odds at the No. 1 pick (14%) and a 52.1% chance at the top four in the 2026 NBA Draft. The Nets moved up after the Indiana Pacers took down the Chicago Bulls last night, as both bottom-feeders hold a 1.5-game lead over the Sacramento Kings to be in the top three.

Scott should get major opportunities from Jordi Fernández and Brooklyn's coaching staff with little to play for. The 29-year-old could prove that he belongs in the NBA after spending so much time in the G League.
