The North Dakota State University Bison men\u2019s basketball team added notch in the program\u2019s belt on Friday, Feb. 27, as former player and Devils Lake native Grant Nelson signed a 10-day contract with the NBA\u2019s Brooklyn Nets.<\/p>\n

Nelson made history for the Bison as their first ever former player to earn a spot on an active NBA roster during the season. Nelson played as a part of NDSU\u2019s men\u2019s basketball program for three seasons from 2020 to 2023. In his 2023 playing for the Bison, Nelson led the team in points, rebounds and assists.<\/p>\n

Nelson was named North Dakota\u2019s Mr. Basketball in 2020 and finished out his collegiate career at the University of Alabama.<\/p>\n

Nelson is just one step closer to making history for NDSU again if he becomes the first ex-Bison to play in an NBA game.<\/p>\n
