Entering Wednesday’s matchup vs. the Los Angeles Clippers, during which he exited with a sprained ankle, the 22-year-old ranked ninth in the NBA in scoring […]

The Brooklyn Nets were in danger of falling to 3-5 to open the year while down three starters in Nic Claxton, Cam Johnson and Ben Simmons Wednesday vs. the Los Angeles Clippers. That fate looked likely when Cam Thomas, Brooklyn’s top scorer to start the season, exited with an ankle sprain in the third quarter. […]

The James Harden gamble has yet to translate into success for the Los Angeles Clippers. The Brooklyn Nets made sure that the new-look Clippers will stay winless since the trade of the former league MVP from the Philadelphia 76ers to Los Angeles, as they brought down Harden and company at Barclays Center Wednesday night, 100-93. […]

The Brooklyn Nets have played eight of their nine games to open the year down at least two starters, with Nic Claxton and Cam Johnson sustaining injuries during their season-opener. Claxton and Johnson’s absences are a significant blow to Brooklyn’s size, defensive versatility, and floor-spacing, three focal points of their new-look identity. However, both players […]

Brooklyn Nets fans have no chill. Early in the first quarter of the game between Brooklyn and the visiting Los Angeles Clippers at Barclays Center Wednesday night, Nets fans chanted “Daryl Morey” in unison while James Harden was taking his free throws.

Ben Simmons will miss his second of the Brooklyn Nets’ last three games after being ruled out with hip soreness Wednesday versus the Los Angeles Clippers. Simmons received a rest night on Saturday against the Boston Celtics with Brooklyn on the back end of a back-to-back. However, head coach Jacque Vaughn said Wednesday’s absence resulted […]

Although he has missed a lot of time through the years, Ben Simmons has been healthy for the Brooklyn Nets to begin the 2023-24 season. So far, the former three-time All-Star has played well and Simmons’ impact has been felt as a tripe-double-like threat due to his rebounding and passing abilities. On Wednesday night, the […]

Brooklyn Nets center Nic Claxton may have let some need-to-know information slip when he told reporters on Saturday that he’s dealing with a high ankle sprain. Claxton had missed Brooklyn’s previous five games, with head coach Jacque Vaughn calling him day-to-day during that time. However, high ankle sprains typically take multiple weeks, if not months, […]

The Brooklyn Nets are currently without Cam Johnson, who is nursing a left calf strain, but another Cam has stepped up in the Team USA sharpshooter’s absence.

However, the Nets are all too familiar with […]

The already shorthanded Brooklyn Nets ruled out Ben Simmons Saturday against the Boston Celtics on the back end of a back-to-back. Brooklyn labeled Simmons’ status as “back – injury maintenance”.

The Brooklyn Nets’ halfcourt offense was the central question mark surrounding the new-look team entering 2023-24.

However, Claxton went down with an ankle injury during Brooklyn’s season opener. In the two […]
