The Brooklyn Nets are signing forward Nick Pringle to an Exhibit 10 contract, NetsDaily reported Tuesday. The agreement adds another physically imposing frontcourt option as Brooklyn continues to prioritize positional size and versatility across its NBA and Long Island rosters.
Pringle, 24, also played for the Boston Celtics during the 2026 NBA Summer League, appearing in three games. He averaged 3.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.0 block in 11.3 minutes per game, shooting 75% from the field and 100% from the free-throw line.
His Summer League role was limited, but Pringle contributed in several areas beyond scoring. He recorded 1.0 offensive rebound and 2.3 defensive rebounds per game, while his 1.0 block per game highlighted the defensive presence that has been a consistent part of his college profile.
An Exhibit 10 contract does not necessarily guarantee Pringle a training-camp invitation. NetsDaily noted that Brooklyn has frequently used Exhibit 10 agreements to fill out the Long Island Nets roster, making a G League assignment a potential outcome depending on the team’s final roster decisions.
Pringle played his final college season at Arkansas in 2025-26 after stops at Wofford, Dodge City Community College, Alabama and South Carolina. He appeared in 35 games for Arkansas, including 33 starts, averaging 4.6 points and 3.9 rebounds in 18.9 minutes per game.
The forward shot 72.9% from the field for Arkansas, although his offensive role was limited almost entirely to two-point attempts. Pringle did not attempt a three-pointer during the 2025-26 season and has attempted only one three-pointer across his 152-game college career.
His strongest statistical season came at South Carolina in 2024-25, when he averaged 9.5 points and 6.3 rebounds in 24.6 minutes while starting all 32 games. He shot 57.2% from the field and 65.5% from the free-throw line that season.
Pringle finished his college career with averages of 5.6 points and 4.3 rebounds in 16.2 minutes over 152 games, including 81 starts. He shot 64.9% from the field, reflecting a profile built primarily around interior scoring and rebounding rather than perimeter shooting.
The signing adds another big-bodied option to a Nets frontcourt that includes Noah Clowney, Danny Wolf, Jalen Wilson and E.J. Liddell. Clowney started 60 of 66 games in 2025-26 and averaged 12.3 points and 4.1 rebounds while shooting 32.9% from three-point range.
Brooklyn finished 20-62 last season, 13th in the Eastern Conference, before selecting Mikel Brown Jr. sixth overall and Joshua Jefferson 28th in the 2026 NBA Draft. The Nets also acquired Julius Randle, signed Keon Ellis to a two-year, $18 million contract and re-signed Day’Ron Sharpe and Josh Minott.
