The Brooklyn Nets have exercised the right to convert Tyrese Martin’s contract to a two-way contract.
Martin (6’6″, 215) has appeared in four games as a reserve for Brooklyn during the preseason, averaging 4.8 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 12.0 minutes per game. The 25-year-old spent last season with the Iowa Wolves, the NBA G League affiliate of the Minnesota Timberwolves, where he averaged 17.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.0 steals over 35.1 minutes per game across 33 regular season contests (28 starts). Martin also saw action in 16 games as a reserve with the Atlanta Hawks during the 2022-23 campaign. The Allentown, Pa., native was selected 51st overall in the second round of the 2022 NBA Draft by the Golden State Warriors before his draft rights were traded to Atlanta. Martin spent two seasons (2018-20) at the University of Rhode Island and concluded his collegiate career with two years (2020-22) at the University of Connecticut, where he earned 2022 All-Big East Tournament Team honors.
