Brooklyn Nets veteran small forward DeMarre Carroll thought point guard D’Angelo Russell was a “knucklehead” before he got to know him.

Brooklyn Nets point guard D’Angelo Russell was throwing a pool party at his house when he found out he was being traded from the Los Angeles Lakers.

Philadelphia 76ers point man Ben Simmons was dismissive during Thursday morning’s media session when asked to comment about what was said of him after a Game 2 win over the Brooklyn Nets.

The Brooklyn Nets hired head coach Kenny Atkinson three years ago today. The Nets won 20 games in Atkinson’s first year as coach and 28 the following season.

The Philadelphia 76ers had a very slow start to the 2019 NBA Playoffs. Game 1 resulted in a 111-102 loss to the sixth-seeded Brooklyn Nets, and Game 2 didn’t start much better on Monday. After the first half, the heavily-favored Sixers led by only a single point. Something must have happened in the locker room […]
