Shumpert signed a 10-day contract with the Nets on Friday.
Shumpert was waived by the Nets on Tuesday, but he cleared waivers and will now return to the team on a 10-day deal. He didn't appear in any games with the team earlier in the season and is unlikely to be a major part of coach Steve Nash's rotation.

Iman Shumpert: Waived by Nets
Rotowire
Shumpert was waived by the Nets after Tuesday's win over the Kings, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
The 30-year-old joined Brooklyn on a one-year deal in January, but the team opted to waive him rather than guarantee his contract for the rest of the season. Shumpert is expected to re-sign with the Nets on a 10-day contract Friday if he clears waivers, per Shams Charania of The Athletic. Shumpert has yet to make his debut for the Nets, as he missed time with a hamstring injury shortly after signing with the team. He was cleared to return to action Tuesday, but he wasn't used in head coach Steve Nash's rotation.

Nets' Iman Shumpert: Available for debut
Rotowire
Shumpert (hamstring) is available to play in Tuesday's game against the Kings.
Shumpert will be available to make his debut with Brooklyn after he signed with the team in late January but was hampered by a hamstring strain. The 30-year-old hasn't appeared in an NBA game since December 2019, so he likely won't be looking at a big role on this Nets squad.

Nets' Iman Shumpert: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Shumpert (hamstring) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Clippers.
Shumpert has yet to make his Nets debut since agreeing to a deal with the team in late January, as he picked up the hamstring injury in practice shortly after clearing all COVID-19 intake protocols. The Nets are evaluating Shumpert on a game-by-game basis, but there's no indication that he'll be available for any of the team's three contests during the upcoming week.

Nets' Iman Shumpert: Out 'a week or two'
Rotowire
Shumpert (hamstring) will be sidelined for "a week or two," Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Shumpert hasn't gotten to debut for the Nets, and he's dealing with a hamstring injury that he presumably suffered during a workout or practice. So his debut will be even more delayed, with the Nets needing to rely on Bruce Brown, Landry Shamet and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot for backup minutes in the backcourt and on the wing.

Nets' Iman Shumpert: Out with hamstring injury
Rotowire
Shumpert won't be available to play Tuesday against the Pistons due to a left hamstring strain, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.
After signing with Brooklyn last week, Shumpert was available for both ends of a Friday/Saturday back-to-back set with the Raptors and 76ers, but he didn't leave the bench in either contest. He still managed to get injured at some point over the weekend or during Monday's practice, so Shumpert's Nets debut looks like it will be delayed until at least Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

Nets' Iman Shumpert: To be available Friday
Rotowire
Shumpert will be available to make his Nets debut Friday against Toronto, Billy Reinhardt of Nets Daily reports.
Shumpert signed with the Nets over the weekend, but he had to clear COVID-19 protocols before officially joining the team. The veteran guard, who appeared in 13 games for Brooklyn a season ago, will be available off the bench for coach Steve Nash. In 2019-20, Shumpert averaged 4.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 18.5 minutes per game. He'll add some defensive tenacity to a roster in need of just that, but Shumpert is unlikely to be a fantasy consideration.

The 30-year-old appeared in 13 games for Brooklyn during the 2019-20 season and will now be rejoining the team. According to Malika Andrews of ESPN.com, Shumpert will need six straight days of negative COVID-19 tests before he can officially join the team.

Nets' Iman Shumpert: Waived by Nets
Rotowire
Shumpert was waived by the Nets on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Charania notes that the Nets were 9-4 with Shumpert and "reluctantly released him due to full roster guarantees." In his 13 appearances with Brooklyn, the 29-year-old Shumpert averaged 4.2 points and 2.6 assists in 18.6 minutes. It's certainly possible he finds an NBA contract elsewhere.

Nets' Iman Shumpert: Very little production in loss
Rotowire
Shumpert ended with just four points and two rebounds in 14 minutes during Wednesday's 113-108 loss to Charlotte.
After getting the better of an apparent knee injury, Shumpert took his place on the Nets' bench. He played 14 minutes but was unable to translate the playing time into fantasy production. He typically gives them a good deal of energy but the numbers are no there and he is not worth consideration in any competitive format.

Nets' Iman Shumpert: Collects six boards Wednesday
Rotowire
Shumpert scored two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) to go with six rebounds and an assist in a 130-118 victory at Atlanta on Wednesday night.
With no concrete return dates for Kyrie Irving (shoulder) and Caris Levert (thumb), the 29-year-old should continue to see time out on the court for Brooklyn. Since signing with the Nets, Shumpert is averaging a bland 4.4 points and an underwhelming 33.3 percent from the field.

Nets' Iman Shumpert: Minimal production Wednesday
Rotowire
Shumpert produced just four points, two rebounds and one steal in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 101-91 victory over Charlotte.
Shumpert played 19 minutes on Wednesday, more as a result of injuries to others than his on-court ability. The Nets are without Kyrie Irving (shoulder) and Caris LeVert (thumb) meaning there are minutes available at both guard positions. Shumpert simply fills a role and there is nothing to get excited about from a fantasy perspective.

Nets' Iman Shumpert: Inks deal with Brooklyn
Rotowire
Shumpert agreed to a contract with the Nets on Wednesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Shumpert turned down an offer from Houston in mid-September, and his waiting has resulted in an offer from Brooklyn, who might be faced with an extended absence from Caris LeVert (thumb). Shumpert appeared in 62 games between the Rockets and Kings last season, averaging 7.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steal in 23.9 minutes. Even if he garners a similar workload with the Nets, it's unlikely he'll have fantasy value in standard formats.

Iman Shumpert: Turns down offer from Houston
Rotowire
Shumpert declined a contract offer from the Rockets on Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
The two sides had been going back and forth on the terms of a possible deal for months, but Shumpert has apparently decided to go in another direction with minicamp set to open later this week. The veteran split last season between Sacramento and Houston, appearing in 62 total games and averaging 7.5 points per game on 37.4 percent shooting.
