Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young left Tuesday’s game against the Indiana Pacers early with a calf injury.

Much has been said about the scorching offense of the Brooklyn Nets which is fueling the success the team is having of late, but Kevin Durant is also here to say that it’s more than just about the team’s ability to get buckets in bunches that is propelling the Nets. The former NBA MVP recently […]

T.J. Warren’s effect on the Brooklyn Nets heading into this season was a bit of an unknown. Having missed the last two years due to a stress fracture in his left foot, it was unclear whether Warren’s microwave scoring ability would return at the same level after joining Brooklyn for the minimum. Ten games into […]

After facing a tough schedule that included bouts against the Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors in their first 10 games, Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero said it took until a late-November matchup against Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets to experience his “Welcome to the NBA” moment in an episode of “The […]

When Kevin Durant isn’t on the floor for the Brooklyn Nets balling out, he’s a huge avid follower of hip-hop music and spends a lot of time listening to it. That’s why it’s not really a surprise that KD just revealed his top-5 albums of 2022 with some familiar names on the list and a […]

The Washington Wizards are not in a very good spot right now. They are presently ranked 12th in the Eastern Conference with a 13-21 record. They are currently tied with the Orlando Magic. And while the Magic have won eight of their last 10 games, the Wizards have gone in the complete opposite direction. Washington […]

James Harden’s rumored interest in going back to the Houston Rockets is apparently nothing new at all. The Brooklyn Nets already had an inkling about it even before they sent the former NBA MVP to the Philadelphia 76ers via a trade back in February 2022, per Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports. While Harden was frustrated […]

The Brooklyn Nets came into a two-game stretch against Milwaukee and Cleveland on a seven-game win streak. However, with a favorable schedule throughout the hot stretch, the matchups against two of the league’s best teams had the feel of a litmus test for Brooklyn. The red-hot Nets lived up to the billing and then some. […]

The Brooklyn Nets’ Monday win against the Cleveland Cavaliers is pretty special for Kevin Durant. Not only did they record their ninth straight win and climbed to third in the East, but KD also made history as he surpassed Tim Duncan on the NBA’s all-time scoring list. Durant actually cracked the Top 15 of the […]

There was something in the water of the Orlando NBA bubble in 2020 that had former Indiana Pacers forward TJ Warren morphing into a Hall of Fame quality player during that strange portion of the league’s history. That same form by TJ Warren showed up Monday night to help the Brooklyn Nets pull off a […]

When the 2022-23 season started, Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant was outside the Top 20 of the NBA’s all-time scoring record. Now, 34 games into the season and he’s in the Top 15, recently surpassing San Antonio Spurs icon Tim Duncan. Entering Monday’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Durant needed just 13 points to surpass […]

The Land can still feel like home for Brooklyn Nets star point guard Kyrie Irving. While he’s years removed from the last time he donned a Cavs jersey, Irving showed that Cleveland will always be a special place for him when he tweeted a message Monday about being back in the city where his NBA […]

The Brooklyn Nets ruled out guard Joe Harris for the second consecutive game ahead of Monday’s matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Harris missed Friday’s 118-100 Nets win over Milwaukee after reporting soreness in his left knee. The game marked Harris’ first injury-related absence since Oct. 27 vs. Dallas. The sharpshooter underwent a pair of reconstructive […]

Ja Morant’s brand new Nike signature shoe was unveiled on Sunday, Christmas Day, and the Memphis Grizzlies superstar will be debuting the kicks on the court against the Warriors. The announcement of his new shoe, the Nike Ja 1, prompted a great response from Kevin Durant, who congratulated Morant on the achievement, while expressing he […]

Kyrie Irving’s high-profile divorce from Nike was the talk of the town for a few days after the sportswear giant decided to cut ties with the Brooklyn Nets star. This was after Kyrie was involved in an antisemitic scandal that also led to a team-sanctioned suspension, among other things, for the seven-time All-Star. Nike didn’t […]

The Milwaukee Bucks are one of the best teams in the NBA this 2022-23 season, but they are far from perfect. As seen in their latest loss to the Brooklyn Nets, Giannis Antetokounmpo and co. continue to struggle to start games. On Friday in their highly anticipated showdown with Kevin Durant and the Nets, the […]

Thursday night’s marquee matchup between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Brooklyn Nets had no shortage of action. At one point, Giannis Antetokounmpo got into it with Nets big man Nic Claxton as the pair ended up down on the floor after a botched layup attempt by the former back-to-back MVP. Claxton did not appreciate the […]

There is perhaps no bigger personality on NBA Twitter than Kevin Durant. The Brooklyn Nets superstar isn’t only active on the social media platform on a regular basis, but more importantly, KD’s knack for interacting with the fans makes him a true marvel on NBA Twitter. Durant himself is well aware of this fact. The […]

Jacque Vaughn has done many things differently during his six weeks as Brooklyn Nets head coach. At the top of the list is his direct approach to holding his team accountable for mental lapses or lack of hustle. The most glaring example of this is Vaughn’s frequent quick timeouts after defensive miscues. Whether Brooklyn is […]

The Brooklyn Nets came into Friday night on a league-best seven-game winning streak and winners of 14 of their last 17. Despite that, the Nets had still not been mentioned in the inner circle of contenders. That had largely been due to a dysfunctional start to the season and a soft schedule during the recent […]

Kevin Durant has arguably put himself in the MVP conversation at this point. It’s quite the feat considering how the Brooklyn Nets looked dead in the water just about a month ago. They were struggling to win games, Kyrie Irving was on suspension and this whole experiment was looking like a failure. But they’ve since […]

Jacque Vaughn was tasked with leading what seemed like an improbable turnaround when he was hired as Brooklyn Nets head coach in early November. Six weeks later, the Nets are on a seven-game winning streak and have posted the league’s best record (14-3) over their last 17 games. During that span, Vaughn has displayed a […]

The Brooklyn Nets entered the 2022-2023 NBA season with high expectations. Kevin Durant was still playing at an all-time level. Kyrie Irving was going to be playing full time after the mismanaged season last year. Even Ben Simmons was expected to make an impact. All of that came crashing down when the season began. Simmons […]

The Brooklyn Nets had a nightmare start to the 2022-23 season. Not only were they reeling from Kevin Durant’s trade request during the offseason, they also had to navigate Kyrie Irving’s questionable taste in films, Ben Simmons’ uncertain commitment to winning, and Steve Nash’s firing. However, the Nets seem to have put that behind them, […]

Steve Kerr watched Kevin Durant win consecutive finals MVPs with the Golden State Warriors from 2016-2018. There were widespread doubts about Durant’s ability to return to that form following his Achilles tear and departure from the Bay Area after the 2018-19 season. Three years later, the former MVP is at the top of his game […]

It is time to continue our NBA odds series with a Bucks-Nets prediction and pick. The Bucks lost 114-106 to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday.

The Golden State Warriors got the stuffing beat out of them against the Nets in Brooklyn on Wednesday night.

With the score already a cartoonish 95-54, Jordan Poole headed to the free throw line after getting fouled by […]

The Brooklyn Nets completely embarrassed the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night, 143-113. Stephen Curry was out of action in this one as the former back-to-back MVP continues to rehab a shoulder injury that is expected to keep him out for a few weeks. There’s no denying that Steph’s absence played a key role in […]

Friday night will feature a marquee matchup between two of the top teams in the NBA today in the Milwaukee Bucks and the Brooklyn Nets. Unfortunately, former back-to-back MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo could be in danger of missing this contest now that he’s popped up on the injury report. The good news for the Bucks is […]

Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant has had his fair share of difficulties in dealing with contentious decisions made by officials. After all, the referee’s whistle plays a huge part in determining the rhythm of the game. And it seems as if, more often than not, Durant has borne the brunt of the officials’ ire. In […]

Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets may be one of the most talented teams in the NBA right now, but they won’t be playing on Christmas day. Durant has no qualms about that or whatsoever, though, admitting that he might be the one to blame for their exclusion. To recall, there were plenty of uncertainty […]

One of the greatest letdowns of the season has been the Chicago Bulls. They are presently ranked 11th in the Eastern Conference with a 13-18 record. That’s just one win better than the Orlando Magic. Remember that Nikola Vucevic was acquired by Chicago from Orlando before the 2021 deadline. He came in with high hopes, […]

For the month of December, the Brooklyn Nets and New York Knicks have treated their fans to some gorgeous, exciting basketball. Despite the Knicks’ loss to the Toronto Raptors due to a Pascal Siakam explosion, the Nets and Knicks have combined for a blistering 16-3 record in the final month of the year, bringing holiday […]

Patrick Baldwin Jr. ranks extremely low on the Golden State Warriors’ list of top defensive matchups for Kevin Durant. Andrew Wiggins would’ve been assigned that near-impossible assignment on Wednesday night had he been available. Klay Thompson definitely would’ve gotten a few possessions checking Durant if the Warriors weren’t playing on a back-to-back, too. Jonathan Kuminga has […]

Honing in on his numbers alone against the Brooklyn Nets makes it seem like James Wiseman made a convincing case for a permanent rotation spot with the Golden State Warriors. He poured in a career-high 30 points on Wednesday night, shooting 12-of-14 from the field and draining his only 3-point attempt. Wiseman’s blend of size, […]

The Brooklyn Nets’ last two starts could be summed up using two words: uninspired and unfocused. Brooklyn fell behind by 18 and 19 points early in wins over the Toronto Raptors and Detroit Pistons. The team emphasized the importance of opening with greater urgency heading into Wednesday’s matchup with the Golden State Warriors. “(There) definitely […]
