Keon Ellis News, Rumors, Updates - Brooklyn Nets

Knocks down three triples in preseason win Ellis finished with 15 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT) and a rebound across 21 minutes in Monday's 131-122 preseason win over the Wizards.

Impact Ellis delivered an efficient offensive performance, connecting on three of his four attempts from beyond the arc and being one of four Brooklyn players who scored at least 15 points. He didn't record an assist, steal or block, making this a relatively scoring-dependent fantasy showing. However, his perimeter shooting helped Brooklyn maintain its offensive momentum, and he committed no turnovers during his 21-minute appearance. Ellis' ability to space the floor remains an important component of his potential rotation role.

Quiet in spot start Eliis finished with just five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) in 12 minutes during Tuesday's 124-90 preseason victory over Charlotte.

Impact With projected starter Mikel Brown sidelined due to a minor ankle injury, Ellis was inserted into the starting lineup. Despite the opportunity, Ellis failed to produce anything of note, particularly on the defensive end of the floor. Assuming Brown gets back on the court in the near future, Ellis will likely shift back to a bench role to begin the season. At best, he should be considered a last-round flyer for anyone needing steals.

Starting sans Brown Ellis is starting Tuesday's preseason opener against the Hornets, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact The veteran swingman is getting the nod in the absence of rookie Mikel Brown (ankle) on Tuesday. Ellis could be ticketed for a bench role once Brooklyn is healthy, though.

Inks deal with Brooklyn Ellis agreed to a two-year, $18 million deal with Brooklyn on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Ellis will head to Brooklyn after spending the 2025-26 season with Sacramento and Cleveland. Across 72 regular-season appearances (11 starts), the Alabama product averaged 6.7 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.0 assists while shooting 44.0 percent from the field and 36.3 percent from beyond the arc in 20.5 minutes per contest. The 26-year-old might not operate as a full-time starter, but Ellis should have a chance to carve out a significant role for a Nets team continuing its rebuild after already acquiring veteran forward Julius Randle this offseason.
