Doyle Signs Two-Way Contract With Brooklyn Nets

Former Loyola guard is averaging 21.3 ppg, 5.7 rpg and 3.9 apg for Long Island Nets

CHICAGO (December 18, 2017) – Milton Doyle, a former guard at Loyola University Chicago, has signed a two-way contract with the NBA's Brooklyn Nets it was announced today. The Chicago native and product of Marshall High School is averaging 21.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.6 steals per game for the Long Island Nets of the NBA G League.
 
By signing a two-way contract, Doyle's NBA rights are now controlled by the Brooklyn Nets. Per NBA rules, teams are permitted to sign two players to two-way contracts in addition to the 15-man regular season roster. A two-way player for the Nets will provide services primarily to the team's NBA G League affiliate – the Long Island Nets – but can spend up to 45 days with Brooklyn, not including any time prior to the start of Long Island's training camp and at the conclusion of their season.
 
Doyle turned heads in the Nets organization and in the league with his play during the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, when he put up 10.5 ppg, 3.5 rpg and 1.5 apg, while shooting 56.7 percent (17-for-30) from the field and 50 percent (5-for-10) from three-point range. He spent training camp with the Nets before signing with Long Island in the G League.
 
Doyle, who graduated from Loyola in May, was one of the all-time greats to wear the Maroon and Gold. He finished his career ranked eighth on the program's all-time scoring chart with 1,606 points and sixth with 459 assists. During his four-year career, Doyle helped the Ramblers to the 2015 College Basketball Invitational (CBI) title in the program's first postseason appearance in 30 years, and led them to their first Associated Press Top 25 Poll votes since 1985.
 
As a senior in 2016-17, the versatile guard put up 15.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.7 steals per game en route to First Team All-Missouri Valley Conference and National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) First Team All-District recognition. He is the first player in program history to be named First Team All-MVC.
