The Milwaukee Bucks got a scare on Sunday in a game against the Brooklyn Nets when Giannis Antetokounmpo appeared to hurt his ankle. In the fourth quarter of the game, Antetokounmpo was cutting up to the top of the key while defending an offensive player, and all of a sudden fell to the ground clutching his […]

For Brooklyn Nets point guard Jeremy Lin, it has been quite a long road to recovery after his 2017-18 season was cut short following just the first game of the season. After he sustained a ruptured right patella midway through the fourth quarter of the Nets’ season opener against the Indiana Pacers, Lin has since […]

The 2018 NBA All-Star Skills Challenge competition contestants have been officially announced by the league with some familiar names and some first-time participants to the All-Star Weekend event. The list is headed by the New York Knicks’ Kristaps Porzingis who is returning to defend the crown which he won a year ago. Playing in front […]

The Brooklyn Nets have not had a lot of success this season as they only have 19 wins to show so far after 52 games. However, on Wednesday, they scored a big one as they defeated the Philadelphia 76ers. 116-108. That allowed them to have the bragging rights on the night, not just against their […]

The long and unfortunate list of injuries this season has Jeremy Lin’s name. The Brooklyn Nets guard was one of the first players to suffer a season-ending injury on the year, as he got sidelined during the team’s 2017-18 debut last October. He landed awkwardly after a lay-up, and his knee just gave out. The clip of […]

Tanking a season has been frowned upon by the NBA which instituted the NBA Draft Lottery in 1985 to prevent teams from doing so. The lottery was created to give all non-playoff teams a chance for the top pick in the NBA Draft. Despite several changes to the system since then, teams continue to tank […]

The Philadelphia 76ers will get their starting shooting guard J.J.

New York Knicks big man Enes Kanter suffered a lacerated lip during Monday morning’s practice session, according to a report from ESPN’s Ian Begley.

Just like what it has been for the last decade or so, the New York Knicks are in need of talent to bolster their squad. Outside of stretch four Kristaps Porzingis and maybe guard Tim Hardaway Jr., who’s improving but unfortunately can’t keep himself healthy, the team pretty much has zero firepower. The NBA’s Feb. […]

There’s a lot to be frustrated about when one is with the Brooklyn Nets. Now in his second season with the team, head coach Kenny Atkinson is not new to that feeling. He showed intense emotions Friday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves and it concluded with his ejection. The incident rooted on a play mid-way […]

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is a problem for opponents. He’s a super tall and athletic young player who can get to the rim at will and can also play the point guard position. It’s safe to say Antetokounmpo is one of those once-in-a-generation players. And he’s starting to get the attention of coaches around the league. […]

Although he may not be a household name, Brooklyn Nets point guard Spencer Dinwiddie has really made a name for himself as one of the league’s most pleasant surprises this season.

Back in 2016, the Detroit Pistons traded away Spencer Dinwiddie. Now that the former Pistons guard is with the Brooklyn Nets, it must have felt nice for the Colorado product to get some measure of payback against Detroit during Sunday’s 101-100 win in Motor City. Per Brian Lewis of The New York Post. “Let’s just be […]

When the Brooklyn Nets traded for D’Angelo Russell in the offseason, they planned for him to be one of their franchise cornerstones. They wanted him to play a big role and make an impact for the team since the start of the season, but Russell has been injured for the most part of the campaign […]

The Brooklyn Nets and James Webb III have agreed to a two-way contract, according to Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports.

Due to questionable front office decisions and bad luck, the Brooklyn Nets are on a long, hard road to rebuilding. Their misfortunes, however, didn’t get them any sympathy from the basketball gods, as they are now getting bit by the seemingly inescapable injury bug. Two of their key playmakers – D’Angelo Russell and Jeremy Lin – […]

It has been a roller-coaster 2017-18 NBA season for Brooklyn Nets point guard Spencer Dinwiddie in terms of game-winners. It started nearly two weeks ago when he hit the go-ahead bucket versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. It was then overshadowed by his atrocious layup attempt against the Toronto Raptors a few days ago. Fortunately, he managed to […]

It has been just over a month since the Brooklyn Nets acquired third-year big man Jahlil Okafor from the Philadelphia 76ers. However, the 22-year-old has yet to make a positive impact in his brief time with his new team. In fact, Okafor has altered the Nets’ pace of play and overall offensive production in his […]

Jared Dudley seems to be enjoying his role in providing veteran leadership for the young Phoenix Suns. But he almost found himself with an Eastern Conference team a couple of years ago.

The Brooklyn Nets suffered another disappointing loss on Monday night against the Toronto Raptors falling in overtime 114-113 at the Barclay Center.

DeMar DeRozan has been nothing short of spectacular for the Toronto Raptors this year. The superstar is currently averaging 25.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 4.9 assists, while shooting 36 percent from behind the arc.

When it comes to the 2017-18 NBA season, the Brooklyn Nets (14-25) have had to deal with their fair share of injuries, especially at the guard position. Luckily, according to a report today from Adrian Wojnarowski, the Nets should be getting back their leading scorer in rising star guard D’Angelo Russell very soon. Russell, who is […]

The Brooklyn Nets are nowhere near Finals contention. Being the 12th seed in the Western Conference is surely disappointing. That already is a pretty bad thing.

One of the more surprising rises to relevance in the league this season has come out of Brooklyn from point guard Spencer Dinwiddie.

Nets will guarantee […]

Brooklyn Nets point guard Spencer Dinwiddie managed to hit the clutch shot over the outstretched arms of Minnesota Timberwolves forward […]

Since being traded to the Brooklyn Nets early last month, many have wondered what Jahlil Okafor’s exact role will be with them. The team made it known that they want him to work on his conditioning and get acclimated to their sets first before he can be part of their rotation and that’s what he […]

Allen Crabbe is hardly known as a defensive stopper. Quite the opposite, he came to the Brooklyn Nets with a reputation as a subpar wing defender during his four years with the Portland Trail Blazers. But after Crabbe made a great defensive play to help beat the Orlando Magic, he told Nets Daily that he’s […]

During the offseason, the Boston Celtics made a lot of headlines for all the moves they made.
