Nelson Jr. is the son of former NBA All-Star Jameer Nelson.

Nelson played 14 seasons for the Orlando Magic, Denver Nuggets, New Orleans Pelicans, Dallas Mavericks, Detroit Pistons and Boston Celtics.

As I wrote in here ⬇️, early signs point to Nelson Jr. being on a training camp deal.

This allows him to compete for the open two-way roster spot, or if he gets waived, he'd be eligible to join the Austin Spurs in the future. https://t.co/KhV5lHCTU5
