| The Hornets signed Sumner to a one-year deal Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.com reports. The Scoop:Sumner missed the entire 2021-22 campaign due to an Achilles tear but made 53 appearances, including 12 starts, for Brooklyn last season. In 2022-23, he averaged 7.1 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 13.9 minutes on 46.1/35.6/91/7 shooting splits. Sumner will likely compete for the backup point guard role behind LaMelo Ball (ankle). Sep 29 1:53 ET - | ||||||||
| Expected to be released Sumner is expected to be released by the Nets, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports. The Scoop: The Nets have until Saturday to make a decision on whether to guarantee Sumner's contract, but it appears he'll be headed elsewhere. If Sumner does end up getting waived, Scotto reports that he'll have several potential suitors. Sumner had a lot of good moments with the Nets in 2022-23, averaging 7.1 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 13.9 minutes. Jul 14 8:30 ET |
| Edmond Sumner: Left off injury report Sumner (hip) isn't listed on the Nets' injury report ahead of Saturday's Game 1 against Philadelphia, Alec Sturm of NetsDaily.com reports. The Scoop: Sumner wasn't available for the regular-season finale due to a hip issue, but as expected, he's good to go for the playoffs. However, with the Nets essentially at full strength, it's unclear if the backup point guard will be part of Brooklyn's postseason rotation. Apr 14 6:44 ET |
| Edmond Sumner: Won't play in finale Sumner (hip) will not play in Sunday's game against Philadelphia. The Scoop: As expected, Sumner will be held out due to a bruised right hip. The Nets are likely just exercising caution in what's ultimately a meaningless regular-season finale. Apr 9 5:35 ET |
| Edmond Sumner: Listed doubtful for season finale Sumner (hip) has been listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the 76ers. The Scoop: Sumner has been dealing with a hip issue since late March and is at risk of missing the Nets' regular-season finale, especially now that he's been downgraded from questionable to doubtful. The Nets will rest Spencer Dinwiddie and Joe Harris while not having Seth Curry (ankle), so the potential absence of Sumner would leave the team even more shorthanded in the backcourt. If the former Xavier standout is ruled out, then Patty Mills, Cam Thomas and David Duke could be in line to see additional minutes. Apr 9 3:52 ET |
