Forward Ziaire Williams and center Day’Ron Sharpe are returning to the Brooklyn Nets on two-year, $12 million contracts, ESPN reported Monday.
The second season on Williams’ deal is a team option, per ESPN, while Sharpe’s second year is also a team option, per HoopsHype. Both players would have become free agents.
Williams, the No. 10 overall pick of the 2021 NBA Draft, played his first three seasons with the Memphis Grizzlies and was traded to the Nets last July with a 2030 second-round pick for Nemanja Dangubic and Mamadi Diakite.
Williams, 23, appeared in 63 games (45 starts) for Brooklyn and averaged 10.0 points and 4.6 rebounds, both career highs.
The 6-foot-11 Sharpe, 23, set career highs with 7.9 points and 6.6 rebounds in 50 games (two starts) last season. The 2021 first-round pick (29th overall) has career averages of 6.5 points and 5.6 boards in 191 games (14 starts) for the Nets.
