Killian Hayes, previously a top draft pick, has been waived by the Brooklyn Nets after not participating in preseason games. After leaving the Detroit Pistons earlier this year, he joined the Nets on an Exhibit 10 deal but will now focus on rehab with their G League affiliate, the Long Island Nets.

Head coach Jordi Fernandez emphasized the importance of Hayes' health, stating that they will not rush his return. The Nets are also prioritizing strengthening their G League roster as they rebuild.
