BROOKLYN (Feb. 5, 2026) – The Brooklyn Nets have acquired forward Hunter Tyson and a 2032 second round draft pick from the Denver Nuggets in exchange for a 2026 second round draft pick, which will be the least favorable selection between the Atlanta Hawks and Los Angeles Clippers. In a related transaction, the Nets have requested waivers on forward Tyrese Martin.
Tyson (6’8”, 215) has appeared in 21 games (two starts) for Denver this season, averaging 2.2 points and 1.7 rebounds in 7.7 minutes per game. In 90 career games (four starts) across two-and-a-half seasons (2023-26) for the Nuggets, he holds career averages of 2.2 points and 1.4 rebounds in 6.8 minutes per contest.

Martin originally signed with the Nets on Sept. 20, 2024, before having his contract converted to a two-way contract on Oct. 19, 2024, and later signed a multi-year deal with the team on Feb. 20, 2025. In 97 games (17 starts) for the Nets across the past season-and-a-half, he averaged 8.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 20.7 minutes per game.
