The Nets have decided that Kyrie Irving as a part-time player is not something they’re interested in. The team made clear on Tuesday that because Irving is ineligible to play in home games, they won’t allow him to join the team for any games until his vaccination status changes. It’s a difficult decision, but ultimately […]

The Kyrie Irving situation came to a crossroads and the Nets decided to play hardball, deciding that he will not be able to play until he’s a full participant with the team. It has been quite the journey to this point. We first learned that the superstar would not be eligible to play basketball in Brooklyn […]

The Brooklyn Nets made a monumental decision to sit Kyrie Irving until he’s eligible to play in home games. This means he must either get the COVID-19 vaccine or New York City would have to lift the local vaccine mandate in order for him to play. Nets general manager Sean Marks said Tuesday that while […]

Life goes on for the Brooklyn Nets despite Kyrie Irving’s stubborn insistence on not getting the COVID-19 vaccine. He joined the the Nets in their first home practice but was forced to stay home on Monday as the team went on the road to face the Philadelphia 76ers in a preseason game. Reportedly, Irving not […]

Kyrie Irving is set to miss the Brooklyn Nets’ home games in 2021-22 due to New York’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate. With that said, fans and experts alike think Steve Nash and Co. should reduce the role of Irving even in road games so as to build continuity and better chemistry among the rest of the […]

Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash finally revealed on Sunday that his team is preparing to play without Kyrie Irving in home games this season as he continues to hold out from getting the vaccine. Irving then took to social media on Monday and got extremely cryptic:   View this post on Instagram   A […]

Kyrie Irving will not travel with the Brooklyn Nets for their road preseason game against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. Nets head coach Steve Nash also admitted Sunday that the team is prepared to play without Kyrie Irving for home games this season because of his unvaxxed status. Via Brian Lewis of the New York […]

A loophole in New York City’s restrictions for unvaccinated employees cleared the way for Kyrie Irving to practice at the Brooklyn Nets’ facilities for the first time on Sunday. Just because he participated in official team activities, though, doesn’t mean the embattled point guard is ready to make his preseason debut. Steve Nash told reporters […]

As the drama continues to build with the NBA regular season approaching and no new word on Kyrie Irving and his vaccination stance, Brooklyn Nets head coach isn’t paying attention to it. Steve Nash on Kyrie Irving now potentially missing 45 games with the new vaccine mandate for indoor events in Los Angeles: “I’m not […]

There had been some optimism that Kyrie Irving would ultimately get his COVID-19 vaccine because of Kevin Durant, but now there’s increasing uncertainty over whether that will actually happen. With the regular season rapidly approaching, the Brooklyn Nets are preparing for the possibility of not having Irving available for home games. At Nets Media Day, […]

Kyrie Irving missed the Brooklyn Nets’ practice on Tuesday due to New York’s COVID-19 vaccine protocol, but despite that, Steve Nash has no plan to move their training out of the city just to accommodate the star point guard. The Nets conducted their first practice in Brooklyn after their training camp in San Diego, where […]

Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash had a rather cryptic response when asked about the status of the unvaccinated Kyrie Irving for training camp. The Nets have already kicked off their preseason with a 123-97 win over the Los Angeles Lakers in L.A., but the second-year head coach admitted that there are still no updates […]

This isn’t your typical training camp update. If you’re following the New York Knicks, you know that Tom Thibodeau likes the chemistry Derrick Rose developed with his second unit so it sounds like he’s going to start Kemba Walker. That’s how many of these typical camp updates have sounded. You know, basketball stuff. Updates out […]

The Brooklyn Nets are currently the favorites to win it all next season. With their Big 3 of Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving, there’s virtually no one that can stop the Nets… except for injuries. Harden, the team’s primary playmaker, was a shell of himself in the 2021 playoffs due to a hamstring […]

Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets are as deep as any team in the Eastern Conference which is a product of their miraculous bargain-bin, void-filling NBA offseason. One of those signings fell through the cracks, however, and will have a profound impact on head coach Steve Nash’s rotation. That signing is point guard Patty Mills. […]

The name of the game this season for the Brooklyn Nets is going to be “make it to the playoffs with a healthy roster.” As such, I expect Steve Nash to use a deep, ten player rotation. It’s difficult to carve out true “breakout” candidates on a team whose top-end talent has all been established […]

The Nets had one goal a season ago, which was to stay healthy so they can beat the brakes off everyone else. They couldn’t do it. A pair of injuries to James Harden and Kyrie Irving derailed their title aspirations. The Milwaukee Bucks would not have survived if either Nets’ guard was able to go. […]

Nets’ training camp is set for Tuesday September 28th in San Diego. They begin their preseason at Staples Center on the third of October when they’ll face the Lakers. There are a few questions on everyone’s minds as the team gears up for the marathon regular season ahead. Let’s start with three questions we know […]

Check out the power rankings ahead of the 2021-2022 NBA season, and chances are you’ve seen a list with the Brooklyn Nets sitting pretty on top. ESPN’s post-free-agency power rankings and Bleacher Report both seem to agree with NBC’s claim that everyone is chasing the Nets. Spend some time speaking with a few jaded Nets […]

The Brooklyn Nets are set for training camp on September 28th, and not long after that the first preseason game tips off. The team’s opening exhibition is set for Staples Center where they’ll take on the Lakers during the first week of October. There’s no doubt this is a championship-or-bust kind of year. General Manager […]

DeAndre Jordan and Jarrett Allen, the two main big men on the Brooklyn Nets roster to start last season, are long gone. That leaves a huge hole on the team for a defensive-minded rim-protector. Head coach Steve Nash believes that third-year player Nic Claxton could be that guy. Nash spoke out about Claxton during his […]

Much like the rest of the NBA, the Brooklyn Nets are also looking to add a few pieces to round out their roster for the upcoming season. It looks like Kevin Durant and the Nets have found their man, and this comes in the form of former Los Angeles Lakers big man Devontae Cacok. According […]

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is a big fan of the way Steve Nash played the game. That’s why he views himself as something of a second coming of the Hall of Famer. Via GQ’s Tyler R Tynes: “Me?” he says, casting a devilish little grin. “Well, I’m the Black Steve Nash.” That’s […]

When healthy, the Brooklyn Nets are the team to beat in the Eastern Conference. That’s the key, though. Injuries are the only thing standing in the Nets’ way of making the NBA Finals for the first time since 2003. Regarding their roster, the Nets are the clear-cut best team in the NBA from top to […]

Kyrie Irving has never been one to give a boring interview. The mercurial Brooklyn Nets guard has always been willing to speak his mind. Kyrie did exactly that heading into last season, as the Brooklyn Nets entered their first year under Steve Nash. When asked about the transitioning coaching situation, Irving gave a rather polarizing […]

The Brooklyn Nets keep making huge moves. They are doing whatever it takes to get to the NBA Finals. However, this move involves NBA veteran Kyle Korver, who is joining the team’s coaching staff alongside Steve Nash and others, guiding Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden in the coming year. According to Shams Charania […]

A piece of unexpected news that left some Nets fans in awe, assistant coach Mike D’Antoni is stepping away from a full-time coaching role with Brooklyn, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Nets Head coach Steve Nash, who was D’Antoni’s superstar back then in Phoenix, released a statement, per Marc Stein, expressing his gratitude for D’Antoni’s help: […]

It wasn’t the brightest of days for the Phoenix Suns on Sunday as they dropped Game 3 against the Milwaukee Bucks. With star guard Devin Booker struggling to hit his shots, the Suns absorbed a 120-100 blowout defeat to Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks. While the loss was painful, Suns coach Monty Williams could find […]

Kevin Durant is someone people just really love to hate, for one reason or another. The Brooklyn Nets superstar has been on the receiving end of a ton of slander ever since he decided to leave the Oklahoma City Thunder back in 2016. As a rising star trying to figure out his NBA path, Durant […]

The Phoenix Suns haven’t won any NBA championships in franchise history, but they’re knocking on the door in 2021 thanks to a trip to the NBA Finals against the Milwaukee Bucks behind the play of Chris Paul and Devin Booker. While the Suns don’t have a title yet, the organization has been home to some […]

The Brooklyn Nets weren’t able to meet expectations that they would cruise their way to the NBA Finals and win it all. Credit should still be given to the coaching staff and players for playing through what has been a tough season for the team and the rest of the NBA. They have a number […]

The Phoenix Suns had a nice week off before beginning their Western Conference Finals series against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. The Suns took the first game of the series in thrilling fashion and Devin Booker was sensational once again. In turn, the young guard notched his first career triple-double and became the first […]

Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets are out of the 2021 NBA Playoffs. They looked like the unstoppable favorites at the onset of the second round, after they steamrolled the Boston Celtics and went up 2-0 against the Milwaukee Bucks. A championship felt more like an inevitability for KD, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving. Fast […]

Steve Nash knows his Brooklyn Nets are in a difficult situation heading to their do-or-die Game 7 against the Milwaukee Bucks, and he didn’t raise much confidence with an update on James Harden‘s injury. Harden sustained a hamstring injury in Game 1 of the series, but he forced his way back in Game 5 after […]

Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash is not losing faith despite the injuries to Kyrie Irving and James Harden. The Nets are facing their biggest and most important challenge of the season after the Milwaukee Bucks forced a Game 7 in their second-round series. It’s do-or-die on Saturday for Brooklyn, but  they will have to […]

The two best words in all of sports are being graced in the series between the Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks: Game 7. After the Bucks took Game 6 in Milwaukee, it set up a winner-take-all Game 7 in Brooklyn on Saturday night, just what everybody wanted from these two teams. For Brooklyn, they are […]

Reggie Miller is one of the best shooters in NBA history. But he might’ve missed the mark on this one. The NBA on TNT analyst took to Twitter to make a bold (read: ridiculous) suggestion for the Brooklyn Nets ahead of their Game 6 tiff with the Milwaukee Bucks. According to Miller, maybe the Nets […]

The Brooklyn Nets used a masterful performance from Kevin Durant to win Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Being down Kyrie Irving and with James Harden playing his first game in some time, Durant shouldered the load and went wild with 49 points, 17 rebounds, and 10 assists. Nets head coach Steve […]

After several days of dilly-dallying due to his hamstring injury, James Harden finally decided to suit up for Game 5 on Tuesday. Harden, however, was as rusty as an old nail, tallying only five points on a terrible 1-of-10 shooting from the field. He did have six rebounds and eight assists, but also committed four […]
