Brooks is available for Wednesday's game against the Bucks, NBA freelance journalist Billy Reinhardt reports.
The Nets are resting Nic Claxton (ankle), Cameron Johnson (knee) and Spencer Dinwiddie (not injury related) on Wednesday, while Lonnie Walker (hamstring) and Ben Simmons (back) remain out, so Brooks, Dariq Whitehead, Keon Johnson and Noah Clowney will all be available versus Milwaukee and could crack the rotation. Brooks has made seven appearances this season, averaging 3.6 points and 1.7 rebounds in 9.0 minutes per game.

Nets' Armoni Brooks: Shines from three-point range
Rotowire
Brooks recorded 17 points (6-7 FG, 5-6 3Pt) and two rebounds across 16 minutes during Wednesday's 109-105 win over the Heat.
After practicing with the G League's Long Island Nets on Tuesday, Brooks rejoined Brooklyn for Wednesday's game and ended up surprisingly finishing second on the team in scoring in what was his season debut. If Spencer Dinwiddie (ankle) and Dennis Smith (hip) are forced to miss additional time, Brooks will likely continue to hold down a spot on the second unit in the short term. Once the Nets are closer to full strength, Brooks, one of the organization's three two-way players, will likely see most of his action in the G League.

Nets' Armoni Brooks: Joining 15-man roster
Rotowire
Brooks has been promoted in advance of Wednesday's game against Miami, Meghan Triplett of GrindCityMedia.com reports.
Brooks will join the Nets' roster with Spencer Dinwiddie (ankle) and Dennis Smith (hip) doubtful to suit up. Brooks' score-first archetype is slightly redundant with Cam Thomas booming on a nightly basis, but the 25-year-old profiles as guard depth for the shorthanded Nets.

Nets' Armoni Brooks: Inks two-way deal with Brooklyn
Rotowire
Brooks signed a two-way deal with the Nets on Tuesday, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
Brooks averaged 11.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 26.0 minutes with 40/38/58 shooting splits across 20 appearances (five starts) as an undrafted rookie for the Rockets in 2020-21.

Brooks shined during Summer League with the Nets, shooting 47.6 percent from deep, and will look to carve out a depth role in Brooklyn's backcourt next season, though he'll presumably start the year in the G League with the Long Island Nets. In a corresponding move, the Nets waived RaiQuan Gray from his two-way deal.
