Brooklyn Nets head coach Jordi Fernadnez was desperately searching for a spark during his team’s 0-7 start.

The Brooklyn Nets were the NBA’s only winless team entering Wednesday’s road matchup with the Indiana Pacers. With Jordi Fernandez’s squad largely non-competitive during a 0-7 start, some began to speculate whether the Nets could beat their NBA-record 0-18 start set during the 2009-10 season. Brooklyn ended that conversation on Wednesday, securing a 112-103 win […]

Player development is at the top of the Brooklyn Nets’ list of priorities this season.

The Brooklyn Nets are the first team in NBA history to roster five rookie first-round picks. Yet, the team’s draft selections have sparingly seen the floor during an apathetic 0-7 start. Nets fans may soon see the majority of their rookies playing together, but it’s unlikely to be in Brooklyn. The Nets assigned Ben Saraf, […]

After missing four games due to an ankle sprain he suffered during Brooklyn’s season-opener, the 19-year-old re-entered the lineup vs. the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Brooklyn Nets were expected to be among the NBA’s worst teams during a tanking season. However, the revamped squad has looked worse than many could have imagined during an apathetic 0-6 start.

Two and a half years removed from the end of the Kevin Durant-Kyrie Irving era, the Brooklyn Nets are in the early stages of a rebuild. While the Nets are tanking for a top draft pick this season, they’ll look to take a step forward next year with their first-round pick going to the Houston […]

The Brooklyn Nets’ selection of Egor Demin with their first lottery pick in 15 years was much-maligned. A large portion of that skepticism stemmed from the Russian point guard’s subpar outside shooting at BYU. However, he’s quelled those concerns across eight Summer League and NBA appearances, converting 23 of 48 (43.8 percent) three-point attempts. The […]

Kevin Durant and James Harden go way back, first teaming up with each other on the Oklahoma City Thunder, where they played from 2009 until Harden departed for the Houston Rockets in 2012.

The Brooklyn Nets’ 0-5 start to the season has been a reminder of how ugly a rebuild can be.
