Former Brooklyn Nets Guard Signs with FC Barcelona
Former Brooklyn Nets guard Tyrese Martin has agreed to a one‑year deal with FC Barcelona, marking the latest step in a transatlantic career that has taken him from the G League to the EuroLeague.
The 27‑year‑old averaged 6.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game during the 2025‑26 NBA season, numbers that reflect a role as a versatile wing off the bench.
A Journey Through the NBA
Martin's NBA trajectory began when the Atlanta Hawks selected him in the 2022 draft, after a stint in the G League with the Maine Red Claws, where he honed his shooting and defensive skills.
He later contributed to the Brooklyn Nets before being waived and signing with the Philadelphia 76ers, a move that kept him on the East Coast but shifted his focus toward finding a more consistent role.
Looking Ahead
His most productive season came in 2024‑25, when he posted 8.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game, a performance that helped him secure the Barcelona contract. The Spanish club hopes the former Nets guard can bring his defensive intensity and three‑point shooting to a team that has been rebuilding its perimeter game. Martin says he remains open to a return to the NBA should the right opportunity arise, but for now his focus is on helping Barcelona compete in the EuroLeague.
