Brooklyn Nets News

After waiving Dariq Whitehead and Drew Timme, the Nets have 16 players on standard contracts. Tyrese Martin and Jalen Wilson - who are on non-guaranteed deals - are battling for the final roster spot. Kobe Bufkin and Haywood Highsmith are on the bubble but would be surprise cuts

It's as of yet undetermined whether Drew Timme will get the #Nets' final two-way spot. Danny Wolf certainly doesn't have his post moves, but is younger, developing well and is light years better as a passer. #NBA

As we alluded to here, Dariq Whitehead was on borrowed time. The Newark native did everything the #Nets asked, but three surgeries - August 2022, June '23 and January '24 - robbed him of a lot of the explosion he'd had as a top high school prospect. He just ran out of time. #NBA

Nets drafted Dariq Whitehead at No. 22 in the 2023 NBA Draft. Entering his third season, Whitehead was in a roster crunch in BKN. He was presumably competing with Jalen Wilson, Drew Timme and Tyrese Martin for Nets’ 15th roster spot.

The #Nets had 21 players on the roster, and have to be down to 18 by Opening Night - 15 standard deals and three two-ways. After waiving Drew Timme and Dariq Whitehead, they're at 19. They still have an open two-way spot, and Timme theoretically could returm there.

I can’t wait to watch the weirdo Brooklyn Nets

Brooklyn Nets were supposed to land at 6:30 am today. Expect roster moves soon.

HBD @24_camthomas! 🎉

Of the 575 or so players who have donned a Nets uniform going back to ABA days, Nolan Traore is the 5th youngest.

BROOKLYN WINS IN MACAO ‼️ Tyrese Martin had 11 PTS in the 4Q & some clutch FTs to seal the Nets' comeback W!

The idea that Nets media was “told to push a narrative” about Ben Saraf is beyond ridiculous. Several players volunteered that Saraf looked good this summer, unprompted. Are the players also pushing this supposed conspiratorial narrative? Saraf played very well today and looked the best out of the rookie point guards, matching what we’ve reported.

wrapping the trip up with a W!

NETS TAKE THE LEAD LATE 😱 Rookie Danny Wolf calls glass from deep... and Brooklyn has erased a 14-point 4Q deficit!

Drake Powell has looked impactful for a second straight game. The defense has looked stout, and he's knocked down two of three attempts from deep. Powell is the only Net with a positive +/-. He's a +6 in 14 minutes.

Ben Saraf has 11 assists in 21 minutes. Only three turnovers.
