James Harden’s name has popped up in trade rumors quite a bit this week. Almost every single one of them indicates that his former GM Daryl Morey would love to acquire The Beard in a blockbuster sign-and-trade after this season. For what it’s worth, Harden had the opportunity to take a big contract extension through […]

The Brooklyn Nets made it through most of this turbulent season thus far without a ton of credible trade rumors. But, lately, James Harden’s name has popped up every few days with solid reports hinting that Philadelphia 76ers president Daryl Morey would love to acquire The Beard in an offseason trade for disgruntled star Ben […]

The Brooklyn Nets have been looking for ways to stack wins in the absence of their lethal scorer, Kevin Durant. Without KD, still nursing a sprained knee, Steve Nash’s team went to Target Center to take on Anthony Edwards, D’Angelo Russell, Karl-Anthony Towns and the rest of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Since it was a road […]

One of the biggest stories around the NBA currently is the play of Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid. Since returning from health-and-safety protocols back in late November, he has been nothing short of dominant. Last year, we saw Embiid cement himself among the top talents the league has to offer. The All-Star big man had […]

The Brooklyn Nets headed to AT&T Center to  battle the San Antonio Spurs. With trade season in full swing, most of the Nets should feel reasonably safe. Nic Claxton is the name who has been mentioned the most. But the big three of Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden certainly aren’t going anywhere, at […]

It appears that Brooklyn Nets big man Paul Millsap is soon going to have a new home. It was recently reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic that the former Jazz, Hawks, and Nuggets forward, who has appeared in 24 games for the Nets this season, is seeking a change of scenery. Forward Paul Millsap […]

The Brooklyn Nets went into the nation’s capital without their best player Kevin Durant being available to play. The Nets must get used to life without their MVP candidate, as Durant is out for at least a month recovering from an MCL sprain. In a surprise twist from the typical narrative, the Nets are actually […]

The Brooklyn Nets headed down to take on the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night. They came out with energy and once led by 16 points, but it still came down to the wire. They’ll leave the capital with a 119-118 win in what felt like a playoff type atmosphere at Capital One Arena. Kevin Durant […]

The Brooklyn Nets are set to face the San Antonio Spurs at the AT&T Center Thursday night. The Nets have been without star Kevin Durant for two games now as he rehabs from a sprained MCL. So that makes this next question all the more vital: Is Kyrie Irving playing vs Spurs? Is Kyrie Irving […]

The Brooklyn Nets were dealt a harsh blow when superstar forward Kevin Durant suffered an MCL injury during the team’s contest against the New Orleans Pelicans this past weekend. There is obviously no replacing Durant, who is arguably the best player in the NBA right now. However, the Nets must trudge on without their superstar […]

There has been a ton of reporting recently on the possibility of James Harden reuniting with his former GM Daryl Morey as part of a blockbuster Harden-Ben Simmons sign-and-trade this coming offseason. With Kyrie Irving serving as a part-time player and Kevin Durant now dealing with an MCL sprain which figures to sideline him through […]

The Brooklyn Nets are set to face the Washington Wizards Wednesday at Capital One arena. The Nets have played all but four games without Kyrie Irving this season, but things always seem to be in flux with this squad right now, so it leads us to the type of question which has been key all […]

It was reported on Monday that the possibility of James Harden parting ways with Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets has become a distinct possibility. As it turns out, the Nets could be looking to shake up their roster ahead of the trade deadline with new reports now emerging about the team potentially parting ways […]

The NBA MVP race looks a little different this season. It’s not that there are that many new faces, but the race itself has so many players that could potentially take home the hardware this season. Golden State Warriors superstar point guard Stephen Curry spoke about the MVP race and his place in it, compared […]

Hoops fans were witnesses to a scary sight on Saturday when Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant limped off the floor during their game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Midway through the second quarter, Bruce Brown fell towards Durant’s legs, forcing the two-time Finals MVP’s knees to buckle in an awkward way. Durant tried to walk […]

The Brooklyn Nets headed to Ohio to battle Darius Garland and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It would be the first full game they would play without their superstar Kevin Durant since he sprained his MCL during the home win versus the New Orleans Pelicans. Since this one was not in […]

On Saturday night, the sports world held its collective breath when Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant suffered an apparent knee injury. Durant, who leads the NBA in points per game and has been very much in the running for his second regular-season MVP, went down midway through the second quarter of a win vs. the […]

The Brooklyn Nets got some unfortunate news as they found out that Kevin Durant injured his knee and will be out for four to six weeks. This is the last thing that the Nets wanted because now they are going to be without arguably the best player in the NBA and they still only have […]

The Brooklyn Nets have announced that Kevin Durant was diagnosed with a sprained medial collateral of the left knee. Durant is expected to return to full strength after a rehabilitation period. This is great news for the Nets that Durant is going to return this season and be able to come back to action for […]

The Brooklyn Nets had little trouble dusting the New Orleans Pelicans, 120-105. Steve Nash and co. came into the game with two available members of their Big 3 in Kevin Durant and James Harden. Kyrie Irving is healthy, but remains out since he is not vaccinated and cannot play at home. It was a very […]

There’s more bad news for the Brooklyn Nets after Kevin Durant had to exit Saturday’s tilt against the New Orleans Pelicans. KD suffered what is now being labeled as a knee sprain after a collision with teammate Bruce Brown and it sounds like the former MVP is going to spend some time on the shelf […]

The Brooklyn Nets recently had a taste of what it’s like to have their Big 3 of Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving all available for a recent game versus the Chicago Bulls. That 138-112 victory was their best win of the year so far, allowing them to climb back to third in the […]

Much has been made of how today’s NBA would pale in comparison to the physical nature of the game many decades ago. Many believe that today’s superstars such as LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers and Kevin Durant of the Brooklyn Nets just would not be able to withstand the physicality of the 1980s […]

The New Orleans Pelicans are set to face the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center on Saturday night. The Nets have been without star Kyrie Irving all season for home games as he is ineligible to play in New York City. As an unvaccinated player, he can’t perform in venues like NBA arenas in New York. […]

At 26-15, the Brooklyn Nets are currently tied with the Miami Heat (as of Friday afternoon) for the second-best record in the Eastern Conference. Kevin Durant and Co. haven’t exactly been dominating the NBA of late, but there’s no denying that the return of Kyrie Irving, albeit for road games, has and will continue to […]

The Brooklyn Nets are coming off a resounding victory over the Eastern Conference leaders, the Chicago Bulls. But not everything is rosy for the Nets, and particularly for superstar Kevin Durant. The NBA announced that Durant has been fined $15,000 for comments he made speaking to the media Monday night. Here is NBA’s release on […]

The Brooklyn Nets have had a really crammed schedule lately. Kyrie Irving returned for the Pacers game, his first of the season back on Jan. 5th. That almost seems like months ago listening to the Nets talk in the post-game. They’ve played six games in 9 evenings, including an overtime win over the Spurs at […]

The return of Kyrie Irving feels like a shot in the arm for the Brooklyn Nets. The trio of Irving, Kevin Durant, and James Harden is probably the most talented in the NBA and the Nets’ campaign should only get better as the season progresses. While Irving can only suit up in select games on […]

Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving is only eligible to play in road games right now, but there is a firm belief that could change as the season rolls on. Per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the organization is feeling optimistic about having Kyrie available as a full-time player once again: Woj says there’s “real optimism within […]

Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets entered Wednesday’s huge road game against the Chicago Bulls with a bit of an annoying trend they’ve had to field questions about for most of the season: they hadn’t beaten any elite teams. That’s over with after their 138-112 evisceration of the top-seeded Bulls. Before the most recent victory […]

After dropping the first two games of the season series to the Chicago Bulls, the Brooklyn Nets responded in loud fashion on Wednesday night with a massive 138-112 victory. It was exactly what they needed after winning just two of their last five games, but Kevin Durant knows that Chicago is no longer a pushover. […]

Sometimes superstar athletes seem like a completely different species. Other times they seem a bit like the rest of us. After Kyrie Irving’s third game back since being reinstated by the Brooklyn Nets, the seven-time All-Star opened up with reporters about his routine for viewing Nets games he’s not (yet) eligible to play in. Of […]

The Brooklyn Nets are set to face the Oklahoma City Thunder at Barclays Center on Thursday night. The Nets had their big three Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving available for the stunning 138-112 slaying over the Bulls. We don’t expect Kyrie Irving to appear in the next game since it’s in Brooklyn where he […]

The Brooklyn Nets seem like they need a break. At least most of them. Ten dudes at once in health and safety protocols about a month ago, bringing back Kyrie Irving part-time and whatever distraction that sparked, and now James Harden dinging up his knee a little bit are just some of the issues this […]

The Brooklyn Nets had a rather unusual set of circumstances for their game in Portland versus the Trailblazers. They played in overtime on Sunday at home where they defeated the San Antonio Spurs 121-119. But then they had to hop a six-hour cross country flight for a back-t0-back in Oregon. Not everyone was able to […]

The depleted Portland Trail Blazers pulled off one of the most stunning wins of the regular season on Monday, beating Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets 114-108 at Moda Center for a second straight victory. Playing without starting guards Damian Lillard (abdominal tendinopathy-injury management), C.J. McCollum (right lung pneuomthorax) and Norman Powell (health-and-safety […]

Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets snapped a five-game losing streak at home after fending off a scrappy San Antonio Spurs team 121-119 in overtime on Sunday afternoon. Of course, Kyrie Irving (ineligible to play at home) was out and so was Joe Harris (still without timeline for return from ankle surgery). The Nets actually […]

The Brooklyn Nets had a lot riding on a Sunday afternoon tipoff. Coming off a five-game home losing streak, they were desperate to shake the narrative that they really struggle at home. Of course, there’s more to unpack with that story as Kyrie Irving, now back as a part-time player, cannot help them in Brooklyn. […]

Tonight, Klay Thompson officially returns to the NBA hardwood for the first time since 2019. It’s a huge game for the Golden State Warriors, who will get one of the game’s best shooters back in their lineup as they shoot for a championship. They face the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Chase Center. Kevin Durant, Thompson’s […]
