Forward Ziaire Williams plans to sign a two-year, $12 million contract with the Brooklyn Nets, ESPN reported Monday.

The second season is a team option, per the report. Williams, 23, would have become a free agent.


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 last July with a 2030 second-round pick for Nemanja Dangubic and Mamadi Diakite.

He appeared in 63 games (45 starts) for Brooklyn and averaged 10.0 points and 4.6 rebounds, both career highs.
