The Sacramento Kings enter Sunday’s matchup with the Brooklyn Nets in the midst of a tight Western Conference play-in race.

For the second straight game, the Brooklyn Nets clawed out a come-from-behind victory. And for the second straight game, a rookie provided the spark. The Nets came back from a 19-point deficit to secure a 113-103 win over the Detroit Pistons Saturday at Barclays Center. They trailed by 17 points when Noah Clowney checked in […]

Many will view Saturday’s Brooklyn Nets-Detroit Pistons matchup as meaningless. However, for Dorian Finney-Smith, it will be unlike any other game he has played in his lifetime. After receiving parole in July following a 28-year prison sentence, Finney-Smith’s father, Elbert Smith, will be in attendance to watch him play for the first time. Following months […]

The Brooklyn Nets will likely be without two rotation pieces Saturday vs. the Detroit Pistons.

The Brooklyn Nets upended their roster at the trade deadline last season with their trades of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Luckily for the Nets, they were able to get off to such a strong start with those two to sneak into the playoffs after dealing both of them. Brooklyn started last season 31-20 with […]

On a night the Brooklyn Nets picked up their best victory in weeks, they were still reminded how far they’ve fallen this season.

There hasn’t been much for Brooklyn Nets fans to cheer about down the stretch of this season.

Rookie Noah Clowney turned in a breakout performance Wednesday during a 115-111 win over the Indiana Pacers. The 21st overall […]

Following Jason Kidd’s induction in 2018, another Nets legend is headed to Springfield.

LeBron James continues to make nightly history while leading the Los Angeles Lakers through a critical road trip amid a tight playoff race. You know, normal Year 21 stuff.

Spencer Dinwiddie was the Brooklyn Nets’ most-trusted floor general during the second half of last season. Fast forward to the first half of 2023-24, and he was an afterthought. The current Los Angeles Lakers point guard’s disappearance in Brooklyn’s offense this year was so glaring that ESPN’s Zach Lowe said it looked like “he was […]

Wait and see. That’s the position Brooklyn Nets fans find themselves in with the team’s miserable 2023-24 campaign nearly in the books. However, the grace period can only last so long for General Manager Sean Marks. For many fans, it’s already run out. Marks has come under fire after reportedly rejecting a Houston Rockets offer […]

Friday’s Brooklyn Nets-Chicago Bulls matchup felt like just another game through two quarters. Then the second half came, and Brooklyn made history. After trailing by five at the break, the Nets shot 18-of-24 from three in the second half to power themselves to a 125-108 victory. Their 18 second-half triples tie the NBA record for […]

Many had Lonnie Walker IV penciled in as a Sixth Man of the Year candidate early this season.

The former first-round […]

Basketball has one objective: put the ball in the hole. That’s never been a problem for Cam Thomas.

Yet, he couldn’t crack the Nets’ rotation during his first two seasons, with many pointing […]

Another Brooklyn Nets forward joined Ben Simmons on the season-ending injury list Wednesday. Keita Bates-Diop underwent a procedure to address a stress fracture in his right tibia and will not return in 2023-24, the team announced.

The Brooklyn Nets haven’t quite become the team the NBA world envisioned over the last few years as many of the franchise’s best-laid plans have gone up in smoke.

The Brooklyn Nets are battling the injury bug as they close out a disappointing 2023-24 campaign.

[…]

The Brooklyn Nets bet on upside when they selected Noah Clowney with the 21st pick in this year’s draft. The 6-foot-10 prospect out of Alabama flashed his versatile skill set for the Crimson Tide during his lone college season. With the Nets play-in hopes all but dead, Clowney has received expanded minutes in the last […]

The New York Knicks have been rebranded as the Nova Knicks this season. The new-look squad has emerged as an Eastern Conference contender, led by star point guard Jalen Brunson and supporting wings Josh Hart and Donte DiVincenzo. However, a lone Wildcat has not enjoyed the same team success across the river in Mikal Bridges. […]

Very rarely is an NBA team presented with a get-out-of-jail-free card. The Houston Rockets may have offered the Brooklyn Nets just that at the trade deadline.

It’s been a rough season for Mikal Bridges and the Brooklyn Nets. Since upending the organization by dealing Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving at last year’s deadline, the Nets have dismissed the idea of trading Bridges and pivoting to a rebuild. With a stockpile of draft picks, they hoped to recreate the magic of the […]

For three quarters vs. the New York Knicks on Saturday, the Brooklyn Nets showed what many thought they could be this season.

You’d be hard-pressed to find an NBA team with a more confusing direction than the Brooklyn Nets. After trading Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving last season, the team has held on to its high-priced veterans through the offseason and the 2024 deadline. Armed with seven tradable first-round picks and potentially over $40 million in cap […]

The Brooklyn Nets had clear expectations entering the 2023-24 season: a scrappy team that would compete nightly but struggle to close games against star-studded rosters. While they’ve failed to live up to that billing, posting the NBA’s sixth-worst record (13-33) over the last three months, they kept to the original script during Thursday’s 115-108 loss […]
