Ziaire Williams was an afterthought in the grand scheme of the NBA transaction cycle this offseason. Three weeks into the 2023-24 campaign, he looks like one of the league’s top buy-low acquisitions with the Brooklyn Nets. After three failed seasons with the Memphis Grizzlies, Williams has made an immediate two-way impact for the rebuilding Nets. […]

The Brooklyn Nets have performed above expectations to start the season, and they’ve done it with one of their most accomplished players sidelined. Bojan Bogdanovic has yet to take the floor after joining the team this summer as part of the blockbuster Mikal Bridges trade. The 11-year veteran has not practiced fully with the team […]

A championship team needs stars. And while productive bench players aren’t always considered necessities, they can work wonders for a contender too. Luckily for the Boston Celtics, they have a pair of stars in Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown and can bring energetic point guard Payton Pritchard off the bench. On Wednesday night against the […]

Ben Simmons’ clean bill of health to start the 2024-25 season has come to an end.

Following the performance, Clowney revealed the offensive mindset that fueled his record-breaking night. “It don’t […]

The New Orleans Pelicans have fallen to 3-8 after losing to the rebuilding Brooklyn Nets, 107-105, thanks partly to Ben Simmons channeling Jason Kidd by dishing 12 dimes in 22 minutes off the bench. Losers of five straight, the Pelicans have some soul-searching to do as they went scoreless in the clutch once again, logging […]

Ben Simmons has, all things considered, stayed mostly healthy for the Brooklyn Nets to begin the 2024-25 season. Simmons’ stock has fallen off a cliff in recent years, but there remains a glimmer of hope that he could at least be a productive NBA player moving forward, even if he no longer could be the […]

Cam Thomas hit his most clutch shot of the season on Monday to lift the Brooklyn Nets to a 107-105 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Brooklyn Nets have looked a lot better this season than most would have likely thought considering the team traded Mikal Bridges to the New York Knicks over the offseason.

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.

Brooklyn Nets forward Noah Clowney was a late scratch Monday vs. the Memphis Grizzlies due to hip soreness. The 2023 first-round pick sustained the injury during the final minute of Sunday’s 106-92 loss to the Detroit Pistons. “He had an MRI this morning. It was clean, everything clear,” head coach Jordi Fernandez said. “But he’s […]

Since Cam Thomas entered the NBA four years ago, the discourse surrounding his game has centered on what he can’t be. Many scouts, executives and fans have doubted whether his skillset can be conducive to winning on a contending team.
