Killian Hayes has been waived by the Brooklyn Nets after not appearing in any preseason games. Following his departure from the Detroit Pistons, he signed an Exhibit 10 deal with the Nets but will now join their G League affiliate, the Long Island Nets, to continue his rehabilitation from a hip injury. Head coach Jordi Fernandez highlighted Hayes' health as a priority, indicating that they will assess his readiness without rushing his return. Hayes' release comes as the Nets focus on strengthening their G League roster amid a rebuilding phase, with veteran guard Shake Milton's strong preseason performance making Hayes expendable.
