The announcement comes just ahead of Anunoby's participation in a European basketball tour, where he'll represent the brand alongside Brooklyn Nets guard Terance Mann. The tour kicks off July 26 in Belgrade, with additional stops planned in Berlin, Frankfurt, and Zadar. 'Skechers has helped me continue to play basketball at an elite level and I love these shoes,' said Anunoby. 'I play quick and low to the court. I jump and move a lot. Skechers has the shoe to keep me comfortable, keep me protected and keep me playing my best every day.'

He joins a growing roster of Skechers basketball athletes, including fellow Knicks teammate Julius Randle, Joel Embiid, Jabari Walker, Josh Green, and Anunoby's former Raptors teammate Norman Powell. On the women's side, the roster includes WNBA stars Rickea Jackson, Jackie Young, and Kiki Iriafen. 'As we grow and continue to innovate our Skechers Basketball shoes, more elite players want to join our team and bring the Comfort That Performs to their games,' said David Weinberg, chief operating officer of Skechers.

New Net Terrance Mann returns home to a very different Brooklyn
LAS VEGAS — For Terance Mann — both the newest Net and the oldest — coming to Brooklyn isn't just a trade. It's a homecoming. Mann was born and raised in Brooklyn, growing up in the proverbial shadow of what would become Barclays Center, where he'll be playing this season. With his mother — who was a local basketball coach — he walked around Flatbush & Atlantic as a child, excited about the coming of the team he'll now suit up for. 'Great. Man, it's just crazy to think about,' said Mann, 28. 'I grew up around there. I remember being little. My mom was (coach at) LIU Brooklyn. 'I used to walk around the area before Barclays was even built. I used to be around there, walking around, always asking, like, 'What are they building here?' My mom's like 'I think Jay-Z is bringing the Nets from New Jersey.' That was the talk in Brooklyn at the time. So, it's just crazy to be able to see it.' Many players used to come to the sport through their fathers, but times are changing. In the case of Mann, it was through his mother, Daynia La-Force. La-Force played for Georgetown and in 1995 became an assistant coach at LIU Brooklyn, with the Blackbirds playing at the Paramount Theater just blocks from what would become Barclays Center. The next year, Mann was born, and grew up in the neighborhood. 'I lived in New York till I was 11, and then I moved to Massachusetts,' said Mann. '(I remember) just walking around. I went to school around the area. I would always go to Juniors, get some cheesecake; just different random stuff, playing with friends, walking around with my little brother while my mom was in practice, and just being at LIU Brooklyn a lot. Those are really my main memories.' 3 Terance Mann, who has joined the Nets via a trade this offseason, lived in Brooklyn while the Barclays Center was being built. NBAE via Getty Images Now the 6-foot-5, 215-pound Mann will get to create a whole different set of Brooklyn memories. After averaging 7.7 points and shooting 36.8 percent from deep in 67 games last season — split between the Clippers and Hawks — the Nets traded for him essentially as a salary dump. With Brooklyn GM Sean Marks looking to weaponize his cap space, he traded for Michael Porter Jr. to get Denver's unprotected 2032 draft pick, and took Mann to get a first-round pick last month that became rookie Drake Powell. 3 Terance Mann will be looking to prove he's more than just a salary dump. NBAE via Getty Images With three years and $47 million left on his deal, Mann will be out to remind people that he can be more than just a salary dump. Mann can clearly play. He averaged a career-high 10.8 points in 2021-22 for a Clippers team that made the Western Conference finals, and started 71 of 75 games for them two years later. Now the much-needed grown-up in the room for a young Nets squad with a league-record five first-round rookies, can he lead? 3 Veteran guard Terance Mann played for the Hawks last season. Joe Boatman 'For sure. I'm the oldest on the team. Yeah, so definitely,' said Mann. 'It's definitely new for me coming from the Clippers, where guys were a lot older than me. So, it's an adjustment for me, for sure. But I'm excited to embrace the journey, taking these guys under my wing, showing them how to be professionals.' Cam Thomas is a restricted free agent but presumptive starter at off-guard, while Porter will get the nod at one forward spot. Mann can get minutes at the two or three. But with the Nets having a plethora of rookies to groom on the perimeter — Powell, Egor Demin, Ben Saraf — Mann can help mentor all of them. 'Just lead as best I can, that's really one of the main focuses I'm going to try and take on with this group,' said Mann. 'And then on the court, whatever coach wants me to do, I'm going to do. I've always been that type of player. So just being excited for it.'

Nets trade acquiring Terance Mann, Drake Powell from Hawks is official
The Brooklyn Nets have made some interesting moves over the course of the 2025 NBA offseason as they seek to improve the roster ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. Brooklyn is coming off a 2024-25 season that saw them finish with a 26-56 record in the regular season, but they have now officially added two players who should help the team win more games. The Nets announced on Monday that the trade in which they acquired forward Terance Mann and the draft rights to North Carolina forward Drake Powell is now official. Prior to the 2025 NBA Draft that happened last week, Brooklyn engaged in a multi-team trade with the Atlanta Hawks in which they received Mann and the 22nd overall pick, which later became Powell. Advertisement Before the trade happened, the Nets already had four picks in the first round: eighth, 19th, 26th, and 27th, but they decided that they wanted to add more picks instead of trading some away. In addition to Powell, Brooklyn selected BYU guard Egor Demin (eighth), French guard Nolan Traore (19th), Israeli guard Ben Saraf (26th), and Michigan forward Danny Wolf (27th). Mann, 28, is a player that the Nets added to the roster most likely because the Hawks were willing to attach a first-round pick to him to get him off the team, something Brooklyn has been trying to take advantage of this summer. Similar to what the Nets did when they traded forward Cam Johnson to the Denver Nuggets in exchange for forward Michael Porter Jr. and a 2032 first-round pick, Brooklyn was willing and able to take on extra salaries from other teams. Mann, native of Brooklyn, New York, is also a veteran that can help the team on the floor due to his experience and his ability to be a 3-and-D wing for the team right away. Mann averaged 7.7 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game last season while shooting 49.6% from the field and 36.8% from three-point land as he split time between the Los Angeles Clippers and Hawks.
