Nets projected to decline Josh Minott's team option for 2026

Summary

The Brooklyn Nets are expected to decline Josh Minott's $2.6 million team option as they aim to maximize cap space ahead of the offseason. Coming off his best stretch in the NBA, Minott averaged 10.8 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.3 steals over 16 games after joining the Nets. With a poor record this past season of 20-62, Brooklyn is looking to revamp its roster, which includes determining who to select with the No. 6 pick in the upcoming draft. Although the team may decline his option, there's a possibility that they could re-sign Minott later, given his recent performance.
