Although it’s been reported that Justin Anderson is joining the Nets as Brooklyn’s final substitute signing, there’s been no official word he’s put ink to paper with the team. There’s also been more recent reports that the Nets have been talking to Lance Thomas for that same substitute slot.
All that said, in an interview Monday with a University of Virginia podcast, Anderson says he’s in Orlando waiting out his quarantine ... and will play with the Nets.
Anderson, who played for the Long Island Nets and had a 10-day deal with Brooklyn in January, accepts congratulations on joining the Nets during the interview and spoke about his current situation from a hotel room.
