E.J. Liddell News, Rumors, Updates - Brooklyn Nets

With NBA club Brooklyn has recalled Liddell from the G League ahead of Sunday's NBA game against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Impact Liddell, a two-way player, has appeared in just eight NBA games this season, but he'll be with the NBA club for Sunday's matchup. Noah Clowney (back) is doubtful for the contest, but Liddell isn't guaranteed a spot in the rotation even if Clowney sits.

Won't play Friday Liddell won't play Friday against the Clippers due to right knee soreness.

Impact Liddell has been a prominent player for Long Island in the G League, but he has just eight appearances at the NBA level this season for an average of 4.4 minutes per contest.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Makes third appearance in loss Liddell ended Friday's 125-107 loss to Detroit with two points (1-2 FG) and one rebound in five minutes.

Impact Liddell moved into the rotation for just the third time this season, with all appearances yielding no more than six minutes of playing time. Although on paper, Brooklyn is a good landing spot for someone like Liddell, it doesn't appear as though he is going to feature on a nightly basis at this point.

Signs two-way contract with Nets The Nets signed Liddell to a two-way contract Wednesday, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Liddell made 12 brief regular-season appearances for the Bulls in 2024-25, averaging 4.4 minutes per game, and he'll get his next chance with Brooklyn in 2025-26. Given the two-way deal, the 2023 second-rounder is likely to spend most of his time with the G League's Long Island Nets while the parent club is healthy.

Available to play Liddell (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against the Raptors.

Impact After missing the past two games for Chicago, Liddell is no longer on the injury report. The Bulls could potentially be very shorthanded Tuesday, meaning Liddell could get an opportunity to crack the rotation.

Out for Monday Liddell (illness) is out for Monday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Liddell will be unavailable for a second straight game with the big club Monday due to an illness. His absence doesn't have any fantasy implications.

Still out Saturday Liddell (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Liddell didn't play Monday in the G League Windy City Bulls' 116-113 win over the Indiana Mad Ants due to an illness and hasn't played since. He's back with the NBA club, but it's unclear when he'll be able to suit up again.

Remains out Monday Liddell (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Liddell will miss a second straight game due to a sore left knee. However, the two-way player hasn't been a regular part of the Bulls' NBA rotation, so his ongoing absence shouldn't impact fantasy hoops.

DECEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out Friday with sore knee Liddell wasn't available Friday in the Bulls' 109-95 win over the Hornets due to a sore left knee.

Impact Liddell is a two-way player who hasn't been a regular part of the rotation at the NBA level this season, but the Bulls likely would have wanted to have him on hand as frontcourt depth while center Nikola Vucevic (illness) missed Friday's contest. Assuming Vucevic's illness isn't a long-term concern and he's able to return to the lineup in the coming days, Liddell probably won't be needed to fill minutes once he moves past his knee issue.

DECEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will suit up Friday Liddell (elbow) is available for Friday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Liddell is available for Friday's contest but isn't expected to make a big impact in fantasy. He's made just two appearances all season long, and it would be fair to say he's currently out of the Bulls' regular rotation.

NOVEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Friday Liddell is probable for Friday's game against the Hawks due to a right elbow contusion.

Impact The fact that Liddell has a probable tag for Friday's contest suggests he should play in some capacity. That said, his availability shouldn't affect many fantasy decision, as he's going to be limited to just spare frontcourt minutes in a best-case scenario.

NOVEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Joining Chicago on two-way pact The Bulls signed Liddell to a two-way deal Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact The Illinois native will latch on with Chicago for the 2024-25 season, though he will likely spend the majority of his time with the Windy City Bulls of the G League. The 23-year-old played for New Orleans last season, during which he averaged 0.5 points and 0.6 rebounds across only 2.9 minutes per game in just eight regular-season appearances.

Part of Bulls' training camp roster Liddell is part of the Bulls roster for training camp ahead of the 2024-25 regular season, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact The Suns waived Liddell in August, but the former Ohio State standout will have a shot at competing for a spot in the roster with a Bulls organization that might be headed to a rebuild sooner rather than later. Liddell made eight appearances for the Pelicans in the 2023-24 regular season, but he was limited to just 2.9 minutes per game, as he spent most of his time with the Birmingham Squadron in the G League.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Waived by Phoenix The Suns waived Liddell on Wednesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Liddell was traded twice this summer. First, the Hawks acquired him from the Pelicans in the return package for Dejounte Murray. Then, Liddell was traded to Phoenix in exchange for David Roddy. Now, Liddell finds himself as a free agent a month before training camp and will likely have to settle for a G League opportunity. The 2022 second-round pick has made just eight NBA appearances, which all came with New Orleans last season.

Traded to Phoenix Liddell was traded to the Suns in exchange for David Roddy, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact This is the second time Liddell gets traded in less than a month, as he was traded from New Orleans to Atlanta on June 26 as part of the deal that sent Dejounte Murray to the Pelicans. Liddell will compete for a depth frontcourt option for the Suns, but his chances of earning a meaningful role are very slim.

Impact Liddell was not part of the Pelicans' rotation during his rookie season, as he averaged just 0.5 points and 0.6 rebounds across 2.9 minutes in eight appearances. He will now compete for a roster spot as a depth front court option in Atlanta.

JUNE 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Rare appearance in loss Liddell amassed one rebound in three minutes during Saturday's 106-85 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Impact Liddell saw rare playing time in the loss, as the Pelicans were blown out on their home court. The fact that he was in the rotation tells you everything you need to know about where the Pelicans are at right now. They will look to salvage some pride when the two teams face off again in Game 4, also in New Orleans.

APRIL 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled to NBA New Orleans recalled Liddell from the G League's Birmingham Squadron on Monday.

Impact Though Liddell will rejoin the Pelicans after the Squadron completed its G League season Saturday, he's not guaranteed to see any playing time at the NBA level in the short term. Liddell's last action with the Pelicans came back on Jan. 27.
