BROOKLYN – The Brooklyn Nets have acquired the draft rights to David Michineau from the Sacramento Kings in exchange for forward Kessler Edwards and cash considerations.
Michineau was originally drafted by the New Orleans Pelicans in the second round (39th overall pick) of the 2016 NBA Draft. His rights were later acquired by the Los Angeles Clippers and then Sacramento via trade. The 28-year-old guard currently plays for Napoli Basket in Italy’s Lega Basket Serie A and previously played professionally in France.
Edwards was originally selected with the 44th overall pick in the second round of the 2021 NBA Draft by Brooklyn and signed a two-way contract with the team on Aug. 16, 2021. He then signed a standard NBA contract with the Nets on April 10, 2022, and re-signed with the team on July 6, 2022. In 14 games with Brooklyn this season, Edwards averaged 1.1 points and 1.0 rebounds in 5.7 minutes per contest.
