The roster includes two players who appeared for Long Island during the 2025-26 season in Brooklyn two-way players Grant Nelson and Chaney Johnson. Nelson earned the 21st call-up in Long Island franchise history last season when he signed with Brooklyn, while Johnson averaged 14.7 points and 6.1 rebounds in 26.9 minutes per game over 24 regular season games for Long Island. They are joined by fellow Brooklyn two-way forward Tyler Bilodeau, who led the Big Ten on 46.4 percent shooting from 3-point range at UCLA last season.
Valley Stream, N.Y., native Jordan Dingle, the 2023 Ivy League Player of the Year at Penn, earned his place on the roster through Long Island’s local player tryout. Forward DJ Rodman joins the team after winning the 2026 NBA G League Championship with Greensboro, and guard Dwight Murray Jr. arrives after averaging 5.0 assists over 90 career NBA G League Tip-Off Tournament and regular season games with College Park. Guard Isaiah Wong, the 2023 ACC Player of the Year at Miami, brings 21 games of NBA experience with Indiana and Charlotte, while forward Dain Dainja shot 62.3 percent from the field in 50 games for Sioux Falls last season. Forward Jonathan Pierre, who won the 2023 NCAA Division II National Championship with Nova Southeastern, also joins Long Island after splitting last season between Capital City and Rio Grande Valley.
Also joining the Long Island Nets this season will be Dion Brown, who recorded a triple-double for Brooklyn at the 2026 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, Ben Humrichous, who helped Illinois reach the 2026 Final Four, Aaron Scott, who won Big East regular season and tournament titles with St. John’s in 2024-25, and Nick Pringle, a member of Alabama’s first Final Four team in 2024.
Long Island will tip off its 11th season on the road tonight, Friday, Nov. 6, at 7 p.m. against the Greensboro Swarm before hosting the College Park Skyhawks in the home opener on Friday, Nov. 13, at 7 p.m. at Nassau Coliseum.
