The Brooklyn Nets waived guard Keon Johnson, who started 56 games for them last season, on Wednesday.

He was scheduled to play the second season of a two-year, $4.51 million deal he signed with the Nets prior to the 2024-25 season. Of that, only $271,614 was guaranteed for the upcoming season.

Johnson, 23, appeared in 79 games last season and averaged 10.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 24.4 minutes per game.

The No. 21 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, Johnson has career averages of 8.2 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.9 assists over 19.2 minutes in 161 games (68 starts) with the Los Angeles Clippers, Portland Trail Blazers and Nets.

The Nets have a plethora of guards on the roster ahead of training camp.

They brought back Cam Thomas on a qualifying offer, acquired Kobe Bufkin from the Atlanta Hawks this week, and have 2025 first-round draft picks Egor Demin, Ben Saraf and Nolan Traore at the position.
