Trendon Watford is thriving for the Nets after replacing Ben Simmons at point guard following the three-time All-Star's buyout.
In a related move, the Nets converted the contract of former William Allen standout Tyrese Martin to a multi-year contract from a two-way contract. Martin has been averaging 7.8 points and 3.8 rebounds for Brooklyn this season, including a career-high 30 points against Phoenix in late November.
The Nets are finalizing a new contract with two-way forward Tyrese Martin ahead of Thursday night’s game against Cleveland, sources told The Post.
