As the NBA season nears its critical stages, the Brooklyn Nets find themselves at a crossroads. March 4 marks the final day for teams to sign players to two-way contracts, an important avenue to bolster rosters ahead of the playoffs. Currently, the Nets are 11th in the Eastern Conference standings with a 21-39 record, facing a four-game losing streak but still within reach of the play-in tournament.

The team is expected to face the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday, aiming for a vital turnaround. The Nets' two-way slots are occupied by Reece Beekman, Tosan Evbuomwan, and Kendall Brown, with Brown being the latest addition after a stint with the Long Island Nets.

With the playoffs approaching, the Nets have until April 13 to convert two-way contracts to standard deals. The potential for players like Evbuomwan to run out of games adds urgency. Meanwhile, the team recently signed Killian Hayes to a 10-day contract but opted not to re-sign him after six games.
