Nets' Chaney Johnson: Set for second year with Nets
Rotowire
Johnson (rest) is getting ready to reprise his role as a two-way player for Brooklyn in 2026-27.
Johnson signed a two-way contract with the Nets in June after occupying a two-way roster spot with the club a year ago. Such a role leaves Johnson more likely to begin the new season as a featured part of the G League's Long Island Nets as opposed to the NBA squad, unless injuries strike the parent team at some point between training camp and the regular season.

Johnson got a chance to show his stuff in the final weeks of the season. He logged the first double-double of his career in the final game of the season, filling in for Nic Claxton (finger).

Johnson (not injury related) is not available for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.
Johnson signed a two-way pact with Brooklyn on Friday and has yet to join the team.

The undrafted rookie out of Auburn appeared in 16 G League games for the Cleveland Charge before latching on with Brooklyn, during which he averaged 12.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks in 25.5 minutes per contest.
