Through Brooklyn's first four games of 2026-27, Minott has not topped 17.9 minutes, including a 5.7-minute outing against Miami on October 14 and 7.2 minutes against Washington on October 12. He has scored between 3 and 6 points in each of those games. He is not on the injury report. On October 7, a Nets Notes roundup grouped Minott with Wolf and Brown, a sign he is still part of the rotation conversation even as his playing time has shrunk early.
