DJ Rodman is now on the Brooklyn Nets roster, according to the club's official roster as of Monday, Sep 21. The 25-year-old guard arrives from free agency with no NBA line to his name.

The move

DJ Rodman, a 25-year-old guard, joins the Brooklyn Nets, according to the official roster as of Monday, Sep 21. He arrives from free agency, having held no prior roster spot. No injury report entry preceded the move; none is logged for him. The Nets now carry him among their guards heading into the 2026-27 season, with the transaction confirmed only through the roster itself and no outside report attached to the signing.

The money

Rodman's contract terms are not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing by a day. The Nets carry a payroll of $160.1 million across 15 contracts for 2026-27, which puts them under the salary cap. The league cap sits at $165.0 million, the tax line at $200.4 million, the first apron at $209.0 million and the second apron at $221.7 million. Brooklyn has room below all four thresholds.

The fit

Rodman has no NBA line from last season. He joins a Nets backcourt that leaned on Cam Thomas, who averaged 24.3 minutes and 15.6 points last season, and Egor Dëmin, who logged 25.2 minutes and 10.3 points. Terance Mann added 24.3 minutes and 7.2 points. The Nets now have 21 players on the roster, against a standard limit of 15 plus three two-way spots.
