Report: Nets to sign Raptors 905 forward Anderson to 10-day contract

The move comes after the announcement that guard David Nwaba, who spent 20 games with the Nets, was waived in the wake of a season-ending injury to his Achilles’ tendon.
The Nets are waiving G/F David Nwaba, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA@Stadium. Nwaba will miss the remainder of the season with a torn Achilles tendon.
Anderson, a former first-round pick, was selected 21st overall by the Dallas Mavericks in 2015 and last played in the NBA in 2018–19, when he was a member of the Atlanta Hawks.
Players who receive 10-day contracts hope to get their foot in the door for a longer deal, and Anderson will certainly get his opportunity on a team that’s struggled with injuries this season.
The 26-year-old has performed well during his 13 games with the 905, and has recorded five games where he’s scored 20-plus points, including a 40-point barrage that came against the Long Island Nets.
Anderson averaged 21.2 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists on 48.4 per cent shooting in his G League stint.
