Nets waive Bogans; sign Andre Emmett
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The New Jersey Nets have waived guard Keith Bogans, just a day after he underwent surgery that will keep him sidelined for the remainder of the season.
Bogans had a torn deltoid ligament repaired, as well as a fractured left ankle, injuries he suffered last week during a loss to Detroit. He played just five games for New Jersey after signing on February 1 and averaged 4.2 points with 2.2 rebounds.
The Nets filled the roster spot by signing forward Andre Emmett to a 10-day contract. Emmett had been playing for the NBA Development League's Reno Bighorns and was second in the league in scoring with an average of 23.7 points in 24 games.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Emmett, selected by Seattle (now Oklahoma City) in the second round of the 2004 NBA Draft, played in eight games for Memphis in 2004-05. The Texas Tech product has averaged 15.7 points and 4.9 rebounds in 105 D-League games.
