Nets sign Tre Scott to hardship deal to play season finale at Raptors
TL;DR
The Brooklyn Nets signed forward Tre Scott to a hardship deal for their season finale against the Toronto Raptors. Scott has been averaging 8.0 points and 5.6 rebounds in five games since joining the team.
The Brooklyn Nets are nearing the end of their 2025-26 NBA regular season as they have their regular season-finale on Sunday at the Toronto Raptors before heading back home for exit interviews. Brooklyn has been focused on evaluating the end of the roster as much as possible as this season comes to a close, but the Nets still need to keep those players available.
The Nets announced on Sunday that they signed forward Trevon Scott to a contract ahead of their season finale at the Raptors on Sunday. Brian Lewis of the New York Post added that a source told him that Scott was being signed to a hardship deal that only covers Sunday's game in Toronto which could explain why Brooklyn's press release didn't specify if Scott's deal was of the multi-year variety.
Scott, 29, signed his initial 10-day contract with the Nets on Apr. 2 and since then, he has been providing solid production as head coach Jordi Fernandez is looking to evaluate more players to end the season. In five games (three starts), Scott is averaging 8.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.4 steals per game while shooting 38.1% from the field and 28.6% from behind the three-point line.
"It was fun. It was a fun experience being out there. I'm pretty familiar with some of the guys I was at the on the court with, credit of playing in Long Island," Scott said when asked after his Nets debut what it was like to take the floor with Brooklyn. "Me just hearing them give me confidence like just go out there and play your game. Be Tre Scott. I prepared for this moment, thank God for being here again."
Scott has started the past three games at center for the Nets and in his starts, he is averaging 10.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game while shooting 35.3% from the floor and 27.3% from deep. Scott will most likely start at center again on Sunday and if he does, he'll have the chance to end his season on a strong note as he ends into this offseason.
