Official waiver in Brooklyn
The Brooklyn Nets have waived guard Isaiah Wong with immediate effect, leaving him without an NBA team after signing and requesting his waiver on the same September 15. The move confirms his exit from the franchise in a sign-and-waive transaction Brooklyn repeated that same day with Dwight Murray Jr.
The transaction is listed on NBA.com oficial and was detailed by Hoops Rumors, which places the waiver within Brooklyn preseason roster moves designed to secure G League rights rather than lock in a main-roster spot.
Wong profile
Wong, a 6-foot-4 guard, was selected 55th in the 2023 draft and appeared in 21 regular-season games with the Indiana Pacers and Charlotte Hornets from 2023 through 2025. Last season he played for Gran Canaria, averaging 14.6 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 22.6 minutes over 34 Liga ACB outings.
Hoops Rumors notes that the Long Island Nets, Brooklyn G League affiliate, acquired Wong returning player rights from Laketown Squadron earlier in September, fitting the usual Exhibit 10 route of a quick sign-and-waive before a likely affiliate assignment.
What the waiver means
Once off the main roster, Wong no longer occupies a camp spot and becomes a free agent until his next step is defined. The most likely scenario within Brooklyn project remains the Long Island Nets, where he could follow the Exhibit 10 path already used with other camp additions.
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 $91K. For Brooklyn, the waiver does not change the broader roster math: the Nets still have 18 players under contract, including 15 on standard guaranteed deals.
Roster context
The move fits the pattern Brooklyn has repeated this September with sign-and-waive agreements aimed at strengthening Long Island before training camp opens. Wong and Murray Jr. follow the same script: sign, immediate waiver and a likely route to the affiliate where the franchise had already acquired their returning rights.
