Hunter Tyson: Breaking News

Headed for free agency

Tyson was waived by the Nets on Thursday, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports. Tyson was traded by the Nuggets earlier in the day, and he'll become a free agent once he clears waivers. He's failed to impress at the NBA level this season, so he may be destined for an opportunity in the G League.

Heading to Brooklyn

The Nuggets traded Tyson and a 2032 second-round pick to the Nets on Thursday in exchange for a 2026 second-round pick, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. The move sets Tyson up for a fresh start in Brooklyn. The 2023 second-rounder averaged just 7.7 minutes per game over 21 regular-season appearances with Denver, playing at least 20 minutes on just two occasions in 2025-26. Tyson doesn't figure to handle a significant role right off the bat, but he at least has a better chance of carving out decent minutes in Brooklyn than he did with the Nuggets.

Slides back to bench

Tyson has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against New Orleans. Tyson made back-to-back starts while the Nuggets were shorthanded, but he'll slide back to the bench Tuesday. Tyson averaged 6.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists across 19.5 minutes during the two-start stretch.
