The NBPA has offered their support for Kyrie Irving, Bradley Beal, and all other players from around the league that are standing against the COVID-19 vaccine. NBPA executive director Michelle Roberts has sounded off on reports that the Players Association is getting behind the NBA’s decision to withhold pay from players who miss games because […]

There had been some optimism that Kyrie Irving would ultimately get his COVID-19 vaccine because of Kevin Durant, but now there’s increasing uncertainty over whether that will actually happen. With the regular season rapidly approaching, the Brooklyn Nets are preparing for the possibility of not having Irving available for home games. At Nets Media Day, […]

On Tuesday, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski broke the news about the Brooklyn Nets’ uncertainty of accommodating Kyrie Irving, who remains bullishly unvaccinated against COVID-19. Just to give a quick brief, the New York City rules state that unvaccinated players for the Brooklyn Nets or New York Knicks (they’re 100% vaccinated) cannot play in games or even […]

It seems the Brooklyn Nets are handling a lot of distractions these days, with the new NBA season opening its curtains just a few weeks from now. Just in case you’ve been living under a rock, Nets star guard Kyrie Irving continues to refuse the COVID-19 vaccine. He already missed their first home practice on […]

The Brooklyn Nets, Houston Rockets and Indiana Pacers all made minor moves Tuesday night involving salary dumps and future draft picks. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Nets are acquiring Edmund Sumner and the Miami Heat’s 2025 second round pick from the Pacers. Once the deal is finalized, Woj reports the Nets will then waive […]

The Golden State Warriors were looking at a doomsday scenario with forward Andrew Wiggins with his resistance to get the COVID-19 vaccine. He eventually opted to get shot, avoiding further drama coming into the season. The Brooklyn Nets, however, aren’t getting as much luck with Kyrie Irving. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the mercurial Nets […]

Kyrie Irving missed the Brooklyn Nets’ practice on Tuesday due to New York’s COVID-19 vaccine protocol, but despite that, Steve Nash has no plan to move their training out of the city just to accommodate the star point guard. The Nets conducted their first practice in Brooklyn after their training camp in San Diego, where […]

Let’s keep it real. The odds of Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James bagging the MVP award this coming season aren’t very good. Nevertheless, this is still The King we’re talking about here, so for him to get ZERO votes in the NBA’s recent GM survey is just straight-up slander. NBA.com recently released the results […]

Another day, another non-vaccination for Kyrie Irving. The Brooklyn Nets star has become the unofficial poster boy for NBA superstars who refuse to get vaccinated against COVID-19 despite repeated pleas from peers and league officials. While Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins finally relented recently, Irving continues to stand by his controversial stance. He said […]

The Brooklyn Nets’ training camp is underway in San Diego, and we’ve received a few tidbits of intel on a potential James Harden contract extension. The Nets will have until October 18th to work out an extension with the former league MVP. If they cannot, “The Beard” would likely become an unrestricted free agent next […]

Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving has yet to waver on his decision to remain unvaccinated for COVID-19 despite mounting pressure from the NBA. New York City mandates require all Nets players to be vaccinated to play at Barclays Center, and if Irving does not get the jab, the league has determined he (and every other […]

Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash had a rather cryptic response when asked about the status of the unvaccinated Kyrie Irving for training camp. The Nets have already kicked off their preseason with a 123-97 win over the Los Angeles Lakers in L.A., but the second-year head coach admitted that there are still no updates […]

Ben Simmons trade talk has dominated the NBA offseason thus far. Nearly a year ago, James Harden found himself in a similar situation before eventually landing with the Brooklyn Nets. Harden was asked about the Simmons trade buzz, but claimed that it wasn’t as similar as people are suggesting. Via Brian Lewis of the New […]

With the recent controversy surrounding Kyrie Irving over concerns of him not yet being vaccinated in compliance with the state of New York’s vaccination mandate, it has left the Brooklyn Nets pondering their next move. If Irving does end up declining to get his vaccination shot, then the Nets may be forced to make a […]

When LaMarcus Aldridge retired last April, everyone thought there’s no chance he would return to the NBA. After all, his heart problem at the time was too serious that it forced him to leave the Brooklyn Nets abruptly. However, luckily for him, Aldridge was able to overcome the health problem and get a second chance […]

The NBA preseason is kicking off with a bang – well, at least on paper. Title favorites the Brooklyn Nets and the Los Angeles Lakers are set to square off in the first preseason game, but the action will be devoid of most of the stars. Despite Kevin Durant and Co. sitting this one out, […]

James Harden only joined the Brooklyn Nets midseason last year. But as one of the best players on the team, nay, the league, he’s taken it upon himself to assume leadership on the roster. One of his responsibilities has been to make sure team chemistry is at its best, both on and off the court. […]

Many believe the Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets are headed for a collision course in the NBA Finals. While it’s way too early to bank on such, it’s hard to blame overly excited pundits for placing their money on the possibility. LeBron James and Anthony Davis now have Russell Westbrook on their side, matching […]

DeAndre Jordan made waves when he decided to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers in the summer. Not only did he add more star power to LA, but what stood out more is the fact that he spent last season with the Lakers’ biggest threat to the 2022 NBA title in the Brooklyn Nets. Jordan […]

With the season set to tip-off in a couple of weeks’ time, Kevin Durant and his Brooklyn Nets appear to be in the final stages of their preparation. The Nets are the heavy favorites to go all the way this season, and this recent video clip from a scrimmage session could prove just that. The […]

The Brooklyn Nets will have a much different look in their preseason opener against the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday. Steve Nash announced on Saturday that Kevin Durant, James Harden, Kyrie Irving, and Patty Mills, among others, won’t suit up. Via Alex Schiffer: Steve Nash said Kevin Durant, James Harden, Kyrie Irving, Blake Griffin, Joe […]

The biggest threat to the Brooklyn Nets’ title hopes is coming from in-house. Kyrie Irving has thus far stayed firm on his stance against taking the COVID-19 vaccine, which would keep him out of home games due to city regulations in New York. Shaquille O’Neal recently called him out on the decision, not for his […]

The Brooklyn Nets are already one of the favorites to win it all in 2021-22, so there’s really not much of a need for the team to add more to their already stacked roster. However, as training camp opens and the season nears, perhaps they’ll try to be open-minded towards any and all possible ways […]

LaMarcus Aldridge is back with the Brooklyn Nets after his sudden retirement announcement. For him to get to this point, he understandably had to pass a number of hurdles. One of the last ones was to convince Nets GM Sean Marks that he was truly ready to return Aldridge had been dealing with his heart […]

The Brooklyn Nets are currently the favorites to win it all next season. With their Big 3 of Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving, there’s virtually no one that can stop the Nets… except for injuries. Harden, the team’s primary playmaker, was a shell of himself in the 2021 playoffs due to a hamstring […]

Devin Booker joined the Phoenix Suns for Friday’s practice after the 24-year-old was recently cleared of COVID-19. Booker had quite a few things to say about the hot topic of vaccination, which started off with his confirmation that he is indeed fully vaccinated. The Suns announced on Sunday that Booker was set to miss the […]

Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets are as deep as any team in the Eastern Conference which is a product of their miraculous bargain-bin, void-filling NBA offseason. One of those signings fell through the cracks, however, and will have a profound impact on head coach Steve Nash’s rotation. That signing is point guard Patty Mills. […]

Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving hasn’t yet received the COVID-19 vaccine, which is one of the biggest stories around the NBA as training camp gets underway. The way things stand right now, Irving won’t be able to play home games this season due to New York’s vaccine rules. Irving asked for privacy on the matter […]

Fact: Kevin Durant is not not good. Also fact: He will be in MVP form once again for the Brooklyn Nets this upcoming season. Durant has been among the NBA’s top five players for years now. Last season, he almost singlehandedly led the Nets to the Eastern Conference Finals, with his running mates James Harden […]

LeBron James is fully aware that Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving has found himself in the headlines these days because of his adamant rejection of the COVID-19 vaccine. Because of this, he was forced to skip the Nets’ media day for the second straight year. Irving, however, told reporters in a virtual press conference that […]

It’s no secret that Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant has had his fair share of spats with the media. There have been numerous times when he didn’t appreciate the way he’s being portrayed, especially during his stint with the Golden State Warriors. But entering his 15th season, Durant appears to be handling things more maturely, […]

This is a tough one. Before you read what I came up with, take a moment to ask what you might have come up with here. How on earth could these Nets truly surprise us? If they were all healthy and started gunning for 70 wins would that be a shock? (Honestly, I’m confident they […]

The name of the game this season for the Brooklyn Nets is going to be “make it to the playoffs with a healthy roster.” As such, I expect Steve Nash to use a deep, ten player rotation. It’s difficult to carve out true “breakout” candidates on a team whose top-end talent has all been established […]

Despite an early playoff exit last year, Kevin Durant still proved to everyone that he makes a case to be the best player in the world. After missing an entire season due to a torn achilles’ tendon injury, he displayed one of the best injury comebacks in history. Unfortunately with injuries hitting the Nets, KD […]

The Brooklyn Nets are the heavy favorites to take home the Larry O’Brien Trophy this season. But early on, the biggest thing standing between the Nets and the NBA title is COVID-19 vaccination. Not you, Milwaukee Bucks. Sorry. It’s already widely known that Nets guard Kyrie Irving rejects vaccination the way wise people reject pineapples […]

James Harden could very well become a free agent next season, especially since he hasn’t reached a contract extension yet with the Brooklyn Nets. However, it doesn’t look like he’s going anywhere any time soon. While Harden is unlikely to sign an extension with the Nets before the October 18 deadline–since he is poised to […]

The Brooklyn Nets just signed on all-time shooting legend Kyle Korver to join their team as an assistant coach in August. It hasn’t taken long for him to make an impact on the roster. The sharpshooter is obviously going to put in the work with the the wings on the team to improve their outside […]

As of today, the Brooklyn Nets are the favorites to win the NBA championship. But who poses the biggest threat to their supposed supremacy? We’re going to look at a handful of teams who might be able to go toe-to-toe with the Big Three of Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving. Assuming Irving can […]

Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving is making all the NBA headlines for his will-he, won’t-he Covid-19 vaccination saga. Given the city mandate in Brooklyn, he would be barred from playing in any home games should he refuse to take the shot. With the Nets seen as one of the biggest favorites for the NBA championship, […]
