Ferrell signed a partially guaranteed contract over the summer with the Nets and was invited to training camp, but was released and scheduled to play with the Long Island Nets of the NBA D-League.
During his four-year career at Indiana, he scored 1,986 points - which ranks sixth in school history - and he also set the Indiana record for assists (633). He was named an All-American by numerous outlets after leading the Hoosiers to their second Big Ten title in his career in 2016 and guiding the team to an appearance in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. He was one of five finalists for the Bob Cousy Award, which is given annually to the nation's best point guard.
Wojnarowski reports that Ferrell is expected to be ready to play with the Nets in time for Wednesday's game against the Knicks in Madison Square Garden.
