Official waiver in Brooklyn
The Brooklyn Nets have waived guard Dwight Murray Jr., effective September 15, leaving him without an NBA team after a sign-and-waive transaction that does not change the franchise current roster count. The move confirms his exit from the team and fits the usual preseason routine for players tied to G League affiliate Long Island Nets.
The transaction appears in NBA.com oficial and was reported by Hoops Rumors, which places the cut within the same September 15 wave in which Brooklyn also waived Isaiah Wong.
Murray profile
Murray, a 6-foot guard and 26-year-old, went undrafted in 2023 out of Rider and has built his professional career primarily in the G League. Last season he appeared in 47 games for the College Park Skyhawks, averaging 8.7 points, 5.0 assists and 3.4 rebounds in 23.1 minutes on 43.7 percent shooting and 32.3 percent from three.
Brooklyn had already acquired his returning G League rights earlier in September, and Murray also played for the Nets summer league team in Las Vegas. Hoops Rumors notes that the waiver does not break Brooklyn project continuity: Murray fits the Exhibit 10 routine of players who pass through the main preseason roster before continuing their development with the affiliate.
What the waiver means
By leaving the main roster, Murray no longer occupies a training-camp spot and becomes a free agent until his next step within the Nets ecosystem is defined. The most likely scenario leads to the Long Island Nets, where he could follow the Exhibit 10 pathway.
If he eventually joins the affiliate and spends at least 60 days in the G League, he could earn an Exhibit 10 bonus worth up to $91,000. For Brooklyn, the cut fits the development structure the Nets have consolidated after filling all 18 roster spots with 15 guaranteed standard contracts.
Roster context
Murray move comes alongside Wong, another guard for whom Brooklyn used the same sign-and-waive pattern. The transaction repeats the dynamic the Nets have used this September to secure rights in Long Island rather than lock roster spots on the main NBA team, with training camp scheduled for late September.
