Alabama forward Grant Nelson signs training camp deal with Brooklyn Nets
After going undrafted in the 2025 NBA Draft, Alabama forward Grant Nelson will join the Brooklyn Nets on an undrafted free agent deal, per Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.
Nelson will compete in the summer league with the Nets and will have the chance to earn a two-way contract in training camp later this summer. He’s the second Alabama player from the 2025 team to get an undrafted free agent deal, joining Mark Sears of the Milwaukee Bucks.
In Brooklyn, Nelson will play alongside former Alabama forward Noah Clowney, who was a first round pick by the Nets in 2023.
Nelson, originally from Devils Lake, North Dakota, spent the first three years of his career playing for an in-state team, North Dakota State. There he became a star player for the Bison, being name a first team All-Summit League player by his junior year. He was one of the most coveted players in the transfer portal during the 2023 offseason, and landed at Alabama.
