D'Angelo Russell and the Brooklyn Nets have yet to open discussions on a contract extension.

Russell is owed $7.02 million this upcoming season and is eligible for a $9.16 million qualifying offer and restricted free agency next summer if he doesn’t agree to a rookie scale extension.

The Nets are prioritizing cap space for the summer of 2019 when they'll potentially have cap space to sign two max contract players.

Russell was acquired by the Nets from the Los Angeles Lakers a year ago.
