With Glen “Big Baby” Davis reportedly leaning towards signing with the Clippers instead of the Nets, Brooklyn is set to use its open roster spot on big man Jason Collins. Collins will become the first openly gay athlete in a major professional sport.
Per ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne:
Jason Collins has a meeting with the Nets in a few hours and is expected to sign, source tells ESPN.

Jason Collins wanted 1 thing, for this to be a basketball decision. It is. Nets traded Evans & missed on Davis, have a need for his skills
