Mo Wagner joins the Nets, signing a two-year, $19 million contract. August 1st - The Brooklyn Nets officially announced that they have signed free agent center Mo Wagner to a multi-year contract. Reports indicate that Wagner signed a two- year, $ 19 million fully guaranteed contract with the Nets, with a mutual option for the second year.

 

The 29- year-old Wagner played for the Orlando Magic last season, averaging 6.9 points and 3.2 rebounds per game, with a field goal percentage of 42.6% and a three-point percentage of 31.4% . Due to a knee injury suffered during the 2024-25 season, he only played 36 games in the 2025-26 season.

 

The Nets signed Wagner primarily to bolster their center depth. This followed the team's trade of Nick Claxton in a four-team deal involving Julius Randle , which left a void in their frontcourt rotation.

 

In the new season, the Nets are expected to start at center with Delon Sharp , while Wagner and forward Danny Wolf will compete for the backup center position.
