Barely 24 hours ago, there was a huge update that New York City was looking to make important changes to local vaccine mandate policy that could impact Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving. For a short period of time, it sounded like Irving might actually be able to play home games as soon as March 7th […]

Heading into the home stretch of the 2022 regular season, the eighth-seeded Brooklyn Nets have had enough challenges for two teams. Remember back in training camp, there was what felt like a sidebar story about how not every player was vaccinated, but the team expected to have everyone ready to roll soon. You were probably […]

This year’s Eastern Conference is stacked, and it will be a fascinating playoff to see which team represents the conference to compete for an NBA title.

When it rains, it pours for the Brooklyn Nets.

The announcement that Brooklyn Nets fans have been waiting for all season long may have just been made. Well, maybe. We’re not certain yet.

The Milwaukee Bucks suffered a disappointing 126-123 loss at home to the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night, despite the continued absences of Kevin Durant and Ben Simmons.

Zion Williamson is the talk of the NBA right now. He still has not featured for the New Orleans Pelicans this year, and there is no timetable for his return. Recently, former teammate JJ Redick labeled him a “detached teammate”. All of this started to fuel some trade rumors around the young superstar and first […]

The Brooklyn Nets squeaked by the Milwaukee Bucks, 126-123. It was a whirlwind game with lots of insane plays by Kyrie Irving. Without Kevin Durant, Ben Simmons or Joe Harris, the diminutive star took on a mostly healthy Bucks squad and punished them time after time. Kyrie finished with 38 points, a season-high for the […]

Kyrie Irving has been having a wild 2021 – 22 season.

The Brooklyn Nets may have just nabbed the signature win of what has been a difficult season on Saturday night.

Irving did lots of his damage with suboptimal […]

Much has been made about Ben Simmons potentially making his Brooklyn Nets soon. As it turns out, however, that might not come in the immediate future. Previous reports revealed that Simmons is still dealing with a back problem that will keep him out for a few more games. Right now, all eyes are on March […]

You’re never going to believe this, but there’s some bad news involving a Brooklyn Nets star not being available to play as soon as we all hoped. The Nets struck a monster trade bringing in Ben Simmons from Philadelphia. Simmons hasn’t played since the fateful June 21 home loss to the Atlanta Hawks, when he […]

While there were expectations that Ben Simmons could play for the Brooklyn Nets soon, that doesn’t seem to be the case now.

Ben Simmons, Andre Drummond, and Seth Curry joined the Brooklyn Nets over two weeks ago. They were traded from the Philadelphia 76ers on February 10, right before the 2022 NBA Trade Deadline. Curry and Drummond have four games under their belts in Brooklyn, but Simmons has yet to take the game-day court in a Nets […]

We’ve been monitoring the updates on Kevin Durant’s Nets return so closely because, well, he’s Kevin Durant. As of today the Brooklyn Nets are 8th in the standings with a 31-29 record. The problem here is that if the season ended now, Brooklyn would be on the road in Toronto for a single-game elimination Play-In […]

It didn’t take long for James Harden to win over the Philadelphia 76ers faithful. One slithery move past Anthony Edwards for the bucket plus the foul in his Sixers debut and you know the fans forgot all about Ben Simmons. the Harden era has begun! pic.twitter.com/n7eSzHxJyH — Philadelphia 76ers (@sixers) February 26, 2022 But James […]

James Harden had a hell of a debut with the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night. The newest Sixers guard piled on 27 points, 12 assists and eight rebounds in a 133-102 rout of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Things looked business as usual for the Beard with step-back threes and an endless parade of free throws on […]

On Thursday, Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash hinted at the possibility of new recruit Goran Dragic potentially making his debut in the very near future. It sounds like that time has come as the Nets get a major boost ahead of Saturday’s highly-anticipated clash against Giannis Antetokounmpo and the defending champs Milwaukee Bucks. According […]

Brooklyn Nets coach Steve Nash recently expressed optimism about the much-awaited return of Kevin Durant. The star forward has been sidelined for weeks now due to a knee injury. Not coincidentally, the Nets have been on a downward spiral since his exit. On Thursday night, in their first game back following the All-Star break, the […]

Like they were a season ago, the Brooklyn Nets were one of the most fortunate teams in this season’s NBA buyout market. Last year they landed Blake Griffin and LaMarcus Aldridge. That duo has provided a big lift to Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving at different times since coming aboard. Griffin was key back in […]

Philadelphia 76ers guard Danny Green recently dropped a bombshell, claiming that his former teammates Seth Curry and Andre Drummond were angry at Ben Simmons for the way he was handling his standoff with the team. Curiously, all three of them got shipped to the Brooklyn Nets, where things could get more awkward. Curry, however, wanted […]

The Brooklyn Nets made an absolute blockbuster of a trade cutting bait on declining, disgruntled, soon-to-be-maxed superstar James Harden in favor of Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond, and a pair of first round picks. The headliner there is Simmons, the 25 year-old, two-time All-Star out of Melbourne, Australia. He’s one of the best defensive […]

Both Ben Simmons and James Harden are now closing in on their respective debuts for their new teams following the landscape-shifting trade between the Sixers and the Nets.

The Brooklyn Nets have had a really hard time cobbling things together without star Kevin Durant. KD has been out of the lineup since January 15th.

One thing Philadelphia 76ers fans have enjoyed most since the James Harden-Ben Simmons blockbuster trade with the Brooklyn Nets went down has been roasting Simmons’ notorious lack of a jump shot. Sure, Sixers fans have always complained about the issue in the past. But it’s been especially fun for them to listen to Nets GM […]

Former Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons’ exit from the franchise will go down as one of the most scrutinized stories in NBA history.

The NBA continues on Thursday night with this elite Eastern Conference matchup. It’s time to continue our NBA odds series with a Celtics-Nets prediction and pick.

While he hasn’t logged a single minute, the last eight months represent the most eventful portion of new Brooklyn Nets star Ben Simmons’ professional career.
