Nets eyeing Alfonzo McKinnie after Warriors exit

Alfonzo McKinnie served as Kevin Durant’s backup in Golden State. Could he do the same thing in Brooklyn?

With the Warriors planning to waive McKinnie on Saturday, former Nets assistant general manager Bobby Marks — now with ESPN — said his former team would be “at the front of the line” to add the 6-foot-8, 215-pound forward should he clear waivers.

The Nets waived four players on Friday night, and their roster stands at 16. With Henry Ellenson the only two-way on the team, the Nets have another two-way spot open and could add McKinnie as the replacement for Wilson Chandler, who will be suspended the first 25 games by the NBA for PED use.
