Nets sign F Ziaire Williams to multi-year extension

The Brooklyn Nets confirmed a multi-year contract extension Monday with forward Ziaire Williams.

Terms were not disclosed, but multiple outlets reported in June that it was a two-year, $12 million deal and that the second season was a team option.

Williams, the No. 10 overall pick of the 2021 NBA Draft, played his first three seasons with the Memphis Grizzlies and was traded to the Nets ahead of the 2024-25 season with a 2030 second-round pick for Nemanja Dangubic and Mamadi Diakite.

Williams, who turns 24 on Friday, appeared in 63 games (45 starts) for Brooklyn and averaged 10.0 points and 4.6 rebounds, both career highs.

He has averaged 8.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 213 career games (95 starts).
