Wed Feb 19 18:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Nets Sign Killian Hayes to 10-Day Contract, Waive Bojan Bogdanovic

**Brooklyn, NY –** The Brooklyn Nets are giving former Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes a second chance in the NBA. The team announced today that they have signed Hayes to a 10-day contract. To make room on the roster, the Nets waived forward Bojan Bogdanovic, who is reportedly undergoing season-ending foot surgery.

Hayes, the seventh overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, was waived by Detroit in February. After recovering from a hip injury that sidelined him earlier this season, he has been playing for the Long Island Nets, Brooklyn’s G League affiliate, where he averaged impressive numbers (16.8 points, 7.7 assists, 5.4 rebounds, and 2.3 steals per game). The 23-year-old French guard expressed his determination to return to the NBA, viewing the G League as his pathway back.

The Nets are also promoting Tyrese Martin from a two-way contract to a standard NBA deal. This necessitated the waiver of Bogdanovic, whose expiring contract and recent injury made him a logical choice for roster management.

Hayes’ 10-day contract will pay him $128,603, with a cap hit of $119,972 for the Nets. Following the 10-day period, the Nets will have the option to extend his stay with another 10-day contract before making a decision on a longer-term agreement. The move marks a significant opportunity for Hayes to revitalize his NBA career.
