Congrats to Nelson, although I have to believe that Nelson was signed to be a practice squad player. With Rose, Gordon, and Hinrich in front of him, it's hard to see him getting much time. The team's current fourth guard (Lindsey Hunter) sees maybe 2 minutes per game. But it's nice for Nelson to be back on an NBA roster.
The Deng news is not surprising. He's been inactive since February with the injury. Originally, he was expected to miss the rest of the year. Then, there was hope that maybe rest would get him back on the court. That was probably only because the team was making a playoff push.
