DJ Rodman is off the Brooklyn Nets' roster, according to the official roster as of Monday, Sep 21. The move follows a report the same day from Brian Lewis naming Rodman among Nets roster moves, though no destination has been announced.
The move
DJ Rodman, a 25-year-old rookie guard, leaves the Brooklyn Nets' roster, effective Monday, Sep 21, per the official roster. Where he goes next is not announced. The move follows a report published the same day, "Nets Roster Moves: Pringle, Rodman, Scott," from Brian Lewis, with confidence not available. The Nets now carry 19 players on their roster, against a standard limit of 15 plus three two-way spots.
The money
Rodman's contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing by a day. Brooklyn's payroll stands at $160.1 million across 15 contracts for 2026-27, putting the Nets under the salary cap. The cap is set at $165.0 million, the luxury tax line at $200.4 million, the first apron at $209.0 million, and the second apron at $221.7 million.
The fit
Rodman did not have an NBA line last season. He leaves a Brooklyn backcourt and wing group led last season by Michael Porter Jr. at 32.5 minutes and 24.2 points, Nic Claxton at 27.8 minutes and 11.7 points, Noah Clowney at 27.0 minutes and 12.3 points, Egor Dëmin at 25.2 minutes and 10.3 points, Terance Mann at 24.3 minutes and 7.2 points, and Cam Thomas at 24.3 minutes and 15.6 points.
