The Nets recalled Minott from the G League's Long Island Nets on Thursday, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.
Minott looks poised to suit up in Thursday's game against the Spurs, but with the Brooklyn roster at full strength, he's unlikely to be included in the rotation. The fourth-year forward appeared in three games during his recent stint with Long Island, averaging 10.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.7 three-pointers, 2.0 assists and 1.7 blocks in 24.6 minutes per contest.

Nets' Josh Minott: Heading to Brooklyn
Rotowire
The Celtics traded Minott to the Nets on Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Minott signed a two-year, $4.96 million deal with Boston this past offseason, including a team option for 2026-27. However, he'll now join Brooklyn and provide frontcourt depth for the rebuilding club. Minott fell out of favor in Boston and had appeared in just four games since Jan. 5. Over 33 regular-season outings (10 starts) for Boston, the forward averaged 5.8 points and 3.6 rebounds across 15.9 minutes per tilt.

Celtics' Josh Minott: Makes garbage-time cameo
Rotowire
Minott played the final 4:39 of Wednesday's 117-106 loss to the Hawks, finishing with five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound.
The Celtics were shorthanded in the frontcourt Wednesday with Neemias Queta (illness) sitting out, but his absence didn't open up room in the rotation for Minott, who had been cleared to return to action earlier this week after missing 10 straight games while recovering from an ankle sprain. Boston got by with a combination of Luka Garza and Amari Williams at center while the game was competitive before Minott checked in for the first time late in the fourth quarter, when Atlanta had built an 18-point lead to effectively salt the game away.

Celtics' Josh Minott: Drops out of rotation
Rotowire
Minott (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Sunday's 114-108 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Minott racked up seven points (2-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and two steals over 22 minutes during Thursday's 116-101 loss to Milwaukee.

Celtics' Josh Minott: Bump in minutes in win
Rotowire
Minott chipped in 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt), six rebounds and one block over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 123-117 victory over the Knicks.
Minott's role has fluctuated dramatically this year, making him an unreliable fantasy asset. The 27 minutes were his most since Nov. 5. He has the tools to be an effective nine-category asset, but Minott has averaged just 7.4 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 19.2 minutes per contest over 20 games this season, and the Celtics don't appear to trust him with consistent minutes.

Minott is not in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Nets on Tuesday.
Contrary to a previous report, Minott will remain in a reserve role while Jordan Walsh remains in the starting lineup for a third consecutive game. Minott has seen his playing time fluctuate regardless of his role, so his usage during Tuesday's game may come down to matchups and flow.

Minott had been trending down the past three games, and he bottomed out Tuesday, logging a season-low eight minutes. It'll be interesting to see what his minutes look like in the reserve role Wednesday evening, but he's no longer a must-roster player in 12-team formats.
