Brooklyn Nets center DeAndre Jordan doesn’t exactly hand out a ton of dimes, as he has averaged just less than one assist per game (0.9) over his 10 year career. Maybe that’s why Jordan got slightly prematurely excited after finding Garrett Temple under the basket towards the end of the 1st quarter — only for […]

Now in his 12th season in the league, veteran big man DeAndre Jordan has found himself in unfamiliar territory with the Brooklyn Nets.

The narrative of Kyrie Irving’s constant mood swings and isolated demeanor has run rampant since the Boston Celtics failed to come close to expectations during the 2018-19 season.
