Nets release Anthony Bennett, to sign Quincy Acy to 10-day

The Anthony Bennett experiment is over. After working him out during the summer, supporting him on Team Canada during the Olympic Qualifying Tournament and signing him to a one-year, $1 million contract, the Nets Monday waived the overall No. 1 pick in the 2013 NBA Draft.

To replace him, they will sign 6’9” journeyman Quincy Acy, who had been playing for the Texas Legends in the D-League. The deal is reportedly a 10-day contract.

Marc Stein of ESPN tweeted it out first.
