Nets' Keon Ellis: Quiet in spot start
Eliis finished with just five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) in 12 minutes during Tuesday's 124-90 preseason victory over Charlotte.
With projected starter Mikel Brown sidelined due to a minor ankle injury, Ellis was inserted into the starting lineup. Despite the opportunity, Ellis failed to produce anything of note, particularly on the defensive end of the floor. Assuming Brown gets back on the court in the near future, Ellis will likely shift back to a bench role to begin the season. At best, he should be considered a last-round flyer for anyone needing steals.

Nets' Keon Ellis: Starting sans Brown
Ellis is starting Tuesday's preseason opener against the Hornets, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
The veteran swingman is getting the nod in the absence of rookie Mikel Brown (ankle) on Tuesday. Ellis could be ticketed for a bench role once Brooklyn is healthy, though.

Nets' Keon Ellis: Inks deal with Brooklyn
Ellis agreed to a two-year, $18 million deal with Brooklyn on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Ellis will head to Brooklyn after spending the 2025-26 season with Sacramento and Cleveland. Across 72 regular-season appearances (11 starts) last season, the Alabama product averaged 6.7 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.0 assists while shooting 44.0 percent from the field and 36.3 percent from beyond the arc in 20.5 minutes per contest. The 26-year-old may not operate as a full-time starter, but Ellis should carve out a significant role for a Brooklyn team continuing its rebuild after already acquiring veteran forward Julius Randle this offseason. Ellis' deal includes a mutual option with all $18 million guaranteed.

Cavaliers' Keon Ellis: Scores five points in loss
Ellis chipped in five points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 16 minutes during Monday's 130-93 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
After being used sparingly by the Kings, a midseason trade to the Cavaliers gave Ellis new life. In Cleveland, he appeared in 29 regular-season contests (six starts) with averages of 8.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.8 blocks and 1.3 steals in 24.8 minutes per contest.

Cavaliers' Keon Ellis: Fades out of rotation
Ellis (coach's decision) went unused Sunday in the Cavaliers' 114-102 win over the Raptors in Game 7 of the first-round playoff series.
Since being moved to the Cavaliers prior to the trade deadline, Ellis had been a staple in the Cleveland rotation thanks largely to his defensive versatility. Following his trade from Sacramento to Cleveland, Ellis finished the regular season with averages of 8.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.3 three-pointers, 1.3 steals and 0.8 blocks in 25.0 minutes over 28 appearances. However, the fourth-year player ended up seeing his role diminish in the first round of the playoffs, averaging just 10.8 minutes over the first four games of the series before dropping out of the rotation entirely for the last three contests. For one of the few times all season, the Cavaliers have their entire roster healthy, so Ellis looks like he'll remain an odd man out of the rotation during the Eastern Conference Semifinals matchup with the Pistons while head coach Kenny Atkinson leans on a four-man bench.
