Hayes and the Cavaliers agreed to a deal Tuesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

The specifics of the deal have yet to be reported, but this could be an invitation to a training camp. Hayes last spent time with the Nets during the 2024-25 regular season, posting averages of 9.0 points, 5.2 assists and 3.0 rebounds in six appearances. Hayes could be an option to provide depth in the backcourt behind Lonzo Ball with Darius Garland (toe) sidelined to begin the season.

Hayes became a free agent Sunday after his 10-day contract with the Nets expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Look for the Nets to either re-sign Hayes to a second 10-day deal or bring aboard another player to fill the vacant roster spot before their next game Tuesday in San Antonio. After signing with Brooklyn on Feb. 20, Hayes appeared in each of the Nets' ensuing six games, making five starts while averaging 9.0 points (on 41.9 percent shooting from the field), 5.2 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 1.3 three-pointers, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks in 27.2 minutes per contest.

Hayes logged 16 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Friday's 121-102 loss to Portland.

EDGE Analysis

Hayes filled the box score Friday, matching the team high in scoring as well. The 23-year-old floor general has now started four games in a row, during which he's averaged 11.3 points, 6.3 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 0.8 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers in 28.9 minutes while shooting 50.0 percent from deep. Hayes should continue carrying a short-term boost in fantasy value while D'Angelo Russell (ankle) remains on the shelf, but his streaming appeal could wear off once the latter is able to return.

Hayes logged 19 points (7-13 FG, 5-10 3Pt), two rebounds and seven assists in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 129-121 loss to the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Hayes made his third straight start for the Nets and posted another solid line, including a season-high mark in points, as he ended just three assists shy of a double-double. It's only been three starts, but Hayes has left some good sensations with averages of 9.7 points, 3.0 rebounds, 7.0 assists and 0.7 steals per game in those three starts.

Hayes ended Monday's 107-99 loss to the Wizards with seven points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals in 25 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

D'Angelo Russell (ankle) has missed the past two games for Brooklyn and is expected to be re-evaluated prior to Wednesday's game against the Thunder. Hayes now has three games under his belt with Brooklyn, and he's off to a slow start, hitting 31.3 percent from the field and 16.7 percent from beyond the arc. He's been an effective playmaker, however, averaging 5.7 assists in 24.0 minutes.

Hayes is in the Nets' starting lineup against the 76ers on Saturday, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hayes signed a 10-day contract with the Nets on Wednesday and made his team debut against the Cavaliers on Thursday, during which he logged five points, three assists, one rebound and one block over 21 minutes. He'll slide into the starting lineup Saturday due to D'Angelo Russell being out with an ankle injury while Jalen Wilson and Tyrese Martin remain on the bench.

Hayes and the Nets agreed to a 10-day contract Wednesday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Nets will be waiving Bojan Bogdanovic (knee) to clear a roster spot. Hayes attended training camp with the Nets and has been a standout player for the Long Island Nets in the G League, averaging 21.0 points and 8.3 assists. With the Nets undergoing a rebuild, Hayes will likely get a chance to prove himself with the franchise.

The Nets waived Hayes (hip) on Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Hayes (hip) isn't expected to play in Friday's preseason finale against the Raptors, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hayes will ultimately miss the entire preseason schedule due to a hip issue. He's signed to an Exhibit 10 deal, so the prolonged absence isn't helping his case for landing an Opening Night roster spot.
