Traore was assigned to the G League's Long Island Nets on Wednesday.
Traore continues to bounce back and forth between Brooklyn and Long Island. He should see the majority of his playing time in the G League, at least for the time being.

Nets' Nolan Traore: Back to NBA
Rotowire
Brooklyn recalled Traore from the G League's Long Island Nets on Monday, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
Traore has logged just three appearances at the NBA level thus far with an average of 11.0 minutes per contest. If he remains with the parent club, the rookie isn't guaranteed to see the floor in Tuesday's game against the Celtics.

Nets' Nolan Traore: Heading back to G League
Rotowire
Brooklyn transferred Traore to the G League's Long Island Nets on Tuesday, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Brooklyn had briefly assigned Traore to the G League last Thursday before recalling him, so it's unclear if the rookie first-rounder will stick around with the Long Island club. Traore has appeared in just three of the parent team's first seven games.

Nets' Nolan Traore: Shaky in preseason start
Rotowire
Traore ended with six points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 17 minutes during Friday's preseason loss to Phoenix.
While he drew the start at point guard in the absence of Egor Demin (foot), Traore didn't fare particularly well in his opportunity in the first unit. He turned the ball over four times, but Traore's shooting performance was at least efficient on limited attempts. Even with Demin progressing well, Traore should still have a reserve role waiting for him with the rebuilding Nets on Opening Night.

Nets' Nolan Traore: Notches seven points Saturday
Rotowire
Traore tallied seven points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 18 minutes in Saturday's 123-88 exhibition game win over Hapoel Jerusalem.
Traore struggled with efficiency in Brooklyn's preseason opener after shooting just 30.4 percent from the field in three Summer League appearances. The No.19 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft has an opportunity to carve out a meaningful role for Brooklyn, though he'll have to compete for playing time with Egor Demin (foot), Kobe Bufkin and Ben Saraf.

Nets' Nolan Traore: Powers through ankle tweak
Rotowire
Traore registered 13 points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 26 minutes during Thursday's 90-81 Summer League loss to the Thunder. He briefly left the game after rolling his ankle in the first quarter but managed to return, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Traore wasn't about to let a minor ankle injury derail his Summer League debut, and he responded by posting an efficient final line. He stated after the game that he plans to be available for Sunday's matchup against the Wizards, though the team will likely keep a close eye on the injury over the next few days before giving him the green light to suit up.

Nets' Nolan Traore: No. 19 pick to Brooklyn
Rotowire
Traore was selected by the Nets with the No. 19 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
Traore averaged 11.7 points and 5.1 assists in 22.8 minutes per game in France's top league, flashing elite speed and athleticism to pair with strong passing abilities. The 19-year-old shot just 30 percent from three-point range in his past two seasons, and it may take him some time to adapt on the defensive end. Still, the physical tools are impressive, and with proper development, Traore could be a high-level starter. The Nets already drafted point guard Egor Demin and are expected to have Cam Thomas (hamstring) and Keon Johnson return in the backcourt, so it's unclear where Traore fits in at the moment.
