Nets sign Tyler Johnson

The Brooklyn Nets agreed to terms with free-agent guard Tyler Johnson, the team announced.

In a subsequent move, the Nets also requested waivers on wing Theo Pinson.

The Nets coveted Johnson for quite some time. They attempted to acquire the combo guard back in 2016 but had a $50-million offer sheet matched by the Miami Heat, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski notes.

Johnson appeared in 31 games with the Phoenix Suns this season. He averaged 5.7 points, 1.6 assists, and 1.7 rebounds in 16.6 minutes per game.
