Scott ended with eight points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 26 minutes during Sunday's 136-101 loss to the Raptors. Scott saw solid run in the season finale with the majority of the roster sitting out. Scott was signed to a hardship deal to close out the regular season and will now become a free agent. He made six appearances and averaged 8.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.3 three-pointers in 30.4 minutes per contest.
The Nets signed Scott to a hardship contract Sunday, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports. Scott's 10-day contract with the Nets expired Saturday, and this recent deal ensures that he will be available for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Raptors. He has started and played 40-plus minutes in each of Brooklyn's last three games, and he should have a heavy workload against Toronto, given the number of injuries that the Nets are dealing with.
Scott became a free agent Sunday after his 10-day contract with the Nets expired. The Nets will have the ability to retain Scott to a rest-of-season deal, so if the team intends to keep him on the roster, expect him to be re-signed prior to Sunday's finale against the Raptors. If available, Scott will likely be in line for extensive playing time while the Nets list nine players out for the finale, another as questionable (Nolan Traore) and another as probable (Ochai Agbaji). Over the course of his 10-day deal, Scott made five appearances (three starts) and averaged 8.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.4 steals, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 three-pointers in 31.4 minutes while shooting 38.1 percent from the field.
