It marked the […]

BOSTON — When the Boston Celtics struggle, head coach Joe Mazzulla just smiles. Well, not during the Celtics’ 108-104 overtime win to the Brooklyn Nets on Friday night. However, he does occasionally sport a grin when his team is in a grind-it-out game, according to star forward Jayson Tatum. The rebuilding Nets were far from […]

The Brooklyn Nets were projected to be the NBA’s worst team this season. Eight games in, they have the Eastern Conference’s third-best record at 4-4, and their veterans have played a crucial role. Dorian Finney-Smith, Cam Johnson and Dennis Schroder gained more notoriety as trade candidates than impact players for Brooklyn entering this season. Yet, […]

The Memphis Grizzlies are making incremental gains individually and collectively but a 106-104 loss to the Brooklyn Nets has to feel like a step back in several ways. Ja Morant’s double-dose of 360-degree, hand-switching sensationalism was wasted even though most of the starters logged over 30 minutes. Taylor Jenkins had to tackle some tough issues […]

Brooklyn Nets forward Noah Clowney was a late scratch Monday vs. the Memphis Grizzlies due to hip soreness.

It was clean, everything clear,” head coach Jordi Fernandez said. “But he’s […]

Ziaire Williams may have found a new home with the Brooklyn Nets. After joining Brooklyn as a salary dump from the Memphis Grizzlies, the former No. 10 pick has been among the team’s top bright spots early this season. His defensive performance has left his teammates particularly impressed. “He’s hands down one of the best […]

A 1-3 start for the Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo wasn’t exactly what they envisioned. After defeating a weak Philadelphia 76ers team without Joel Embiid or Paul George, they dropped three straight. As the Bucks square off against the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday, they could finish the month going 1-4. A CBS Sports article highlighted […]

Dennis Schroder is making Brooklyn Nets history early this season.

Four games into his Nets tenure, Williams looks like one of the top steals of […]

Since Ben Simmons joined the Brooklyn Nets, he’s become a bit of an afterthought. It’s been quite a fall from grace for Simmons after he earned All-NBA and All-Star honors with the Philadelphia 76ers.
