After being cut by the Nets and clearing waivers, Yogi Ferrell has agreed to rejoin the Long Island Nets, Brooklyn’s D-League team. He started for Long Island Friday night in Portland, Maine, vs. the Red Claws.
Ferrell has had a bizarre journey with the Nets. After going undrafted in June, he was signed to a partially guaranteed $100,000 contract. Ferrell played for the Nets summer league team in Las Vegas, then joined the Nets for training camp. He was the last player cut in October, then assigned to Long Island. But before he could play for Long Island, he was called up after the Nets lost, in order, Jeremy Lin, Greivis Vasquez and Isaiah Whitehead to injury.
