The overarching sense coming from James Harden and the Brooklyn Nets is that there are no plans to trade the former MVP. But the rumblings of late do hint at some sense of frustration. In a recent report from Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer, there are apparently a number of issues James Harden has with his […]

The Brooklyn Nets are hoping to turn things around after their recent struggles. In order to do so, they’ll need to defend their home floor against a talented Denver Nuggets squad. Well, their task just got a bit more difficult after it was announced, just one hour before tip-off, that James Harden would be sidelined […]

James Harden and Brooklyn Nets lost again at home on Tuesday. They’re now just 12-12 at Barclays Center after a 106-96 home loss to LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook and the Los Angeles Lakers. This is a team who had an away-game advantage for most of the season and with Kyrie Irving back in […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 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 have the second game of a back-to-back on the road to take on the Portland Trailblazers who are still missing Damian Lillard due to an abdominal injury. The Nets are now 25-13, 1.5 games behind the top seeded Chicago Bulls in the Eastern Conference. That’s the very team they’re set to play […]

Dirk Nowitzki’s number 41 was lifted into the Dallas Mavericks’ rafters yesterday night after the Mavs took down the powerhouse Golden State Warriors. Scores of NBA players spoke about his immense impact, including fellow German players and former teammates. Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash spent six years with Nowitzki in Dallas, helping the club reach […]

The Brooklyn Nets are 24-12 after another road win, this one a 129-121 victory over the Indiana Pacers. The Nets are now 24-12, 1.5 games behind the first place Chicago Bulls. They’re tied with the Utah Jazz at 14-3 for the best away record in the NBA. Oh right, and we almost forgot to mention, […]

The day has finally arrived when Kyrie Irving makes his much awaited, and in many ways controversial, return to the Brooklyn Nets. In second place in the Eastern Conference at 23-12, the Nets now trail the Chicago Bulls by two full games. But all eyes are on the seven-time All-Star, born in Melbourne Australia, set […]

The Brooklyn Nets are officially on a losing streak. It’s been a whirlwind. The Nets, who previously had 10 players in health and safety protocols, suffered their third straight defeat on Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies. It was an absurd amount of unavailable players and part of the reason the team brass made the controversial […]

Coming off of their worst loss of the season, the Brooklyn Nets look to regroup against the Memphis Grizzlies. In many ways, it is a terrific litmus test for Steve Nash’s group, as the Grizzlies specialize in some areas where they have struggled. Ja Morant and Memphis force turnovers, they crash the offensive glass, and […]

There were times this didn’t feel very likely. There were times it felt like a trade might offer Kevin Durant and James Harden more help in 2022 and beyond than Kyrie Irving could. But the New Jersey native is now finally set to make his season debut this week, with the seven-time All-Star expected to be […]

The Brooklyn Nets had the game in control, but it slipped through their grasp. After the 120-116 home loss to the shorthanded Los Angeles Clippers, the mood from Kevin Durant, James Harden and head coach Steve Nash was one of disappointment, bewilderment and disgust. From one perspective, the Nets deserve a bit of a pass. […]

It won’t be long now. While Steve Nash, Kevin Durant, James Harden and the Brooklyn Nets have lost their first-place standing, they’ll be getting a turbo boost to the rotation soon. DeMar DeRozan now has the Chicago Bulls atop the Eastern Conference leaderboard, as both the Nets and Bulls are 23-10. However, Brooklyn something coming […]

The Brooklyn Nets are already first in the Eastern Conference at 23-9, and they’re now getting much much healthier. The team recently had 10, count them, 10 players in health-and-safety protocols. But their top guns James Harden and Kevin Durant are back, and momentum is building toward Kyrie Irving finally making his 2021-22 debut. Harden […]

With Kyrie Irving now back in the fold for the Brooklyn Nets, fans are dreaming of that ever elusive championship. Irving returned to practice for the first time this season on Wednesday, and he addressed the media for the first time since training camp. The (23-9) Nets sit in first place of the Eastern Conference, […]

Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving just cleared the NBA’s health and safety protocols on Tuesday, and both he and Nets head coach Steve Nash talked to the media on Wednesday about his situation. Nash said that, all things considered, Irving looked pretty darn good. Irving himself said he spent time playing pickup to stay in […]

With the return of the Brooklyn Nets’ rotation — including Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving — now on the horizon, they have survived a stretch which might well be looked back upon as the most difficult portion of their regular season when all is said and done. They’ve pieced together an identity as a scrappy, […]

The Brooklyn Nets have been without superstar forward Kevin Durant since Dec. 18 after he was placed in the NBA’s COVID-19 protocols. Durant is among a handful of Nets players sidelined while in health and safety protocols, including Kyrie Irving. Head coach Steve Nash has offered an update Durant’s status, suggesting a return for the […]

The Brooklyn Nets are atop the East ahead of their Christmas Day tilt against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers. James Harden, Patty Mills and some role players will try to keep up the team’s road-warrior identity. But that has not stopped fans from wondering about every aspect of how Kyrie Irving’s return will […]

James Harden has returned from his bout with COVID-19, as he was cleared from protocols ahead of the Brooklyn Nets’ headline game versus LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers on Christmas. Harden has played very well this season, but not up to his own lofty Hall-of-Fame standards. A combination of factors have slowed the […]

This is a pretty hairy time for the NBA, its players, and staff. The Brooklyn Nets are certainly not immune. No pun intended. On Friday, we got an update on the much-discussed star-studded team. But aside from headlines that Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are in health and safety protocols and should be available to […]

The Brooklyn Nets have been throttled lately with COVID cases. Initially All-Star point guard James Harden and Bruce Brown were placed into the league’s COVID health and safety protocols. The team was running short on healthy bodies and there was concern they would not be able to put a full team on the court. That […]

The Brooklyn Nets got some good news on Thursday with James Harden, Paul Millsap and Jevon Carter exiting the NBA’s health and safety protocols. This puts them in line to play against the Los Angeles Lakers on Christmas Day. Unfortunately, Nets head coach Steve Nash doesn’t envision Kevin Durant making it out of protocols in […]

The Brooklyn Nets are in first place at 21-8, and they’re road warriors, having won 11 out of 14 games on the road. Things may be getting even easier for them with reports confirming that they’re going to let Kyrie Irving play in road games at some point in the future. Things now are a […]

Did you feel the earth just tremble? On Friday we got a monster update on the Brooklyn Nets. It has been reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic that Kyrie Irving is ramping up for a return to the basketball court. Just in: All-NBA star Kyrie Irving has started process to return to the Brooklyn […]

The Brooklyn Nets continue to eke out gutty, gritty wins. Still in first place at 21-8, the Nets knocked off the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday, their second win with about half of their roster on the shelf after being placed in COVID-19 protocols. James Harden is the biggest name they’re missing. LaMarcus Aldridge, Jevon Carter, […]

The Brooklyn Nets are not the only sports team to have some major challenges during the ongoing pandemic, now impacting its third NBA season. While fans of all sports get inundated with hourly updates about their favorite athletes, many of them double-vaccinated, entering health and safety protocols following positive COVID tests, these are truly unprecedented […]

The Brooklyn Nets are short on bodies. Kyrie Irving remains unavailable due to vaccination status. Joe Harris is still recovering from ankle surgery. Both of those players’ names have popped up in trade rumors recently as well. And that was before a COVID-19 surge hit the fully vaccinated members of the team. Just about one […]

The Brooklyn Nets came into Tuesday already shorthanded, but they had no idea how things would look by the end of the day. Without Kyrie Irving who is unvaccinated and unavailable, without Joe Harris (ankle) who is injured, the team experienced a slew of positive COVID-19 tests over the last 24 hours. LaMarcus Aldridge, DeAndre’ […]

Nearly 30 games into the NBA season and the 19-8 Brooklyn Nets are now dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak–this despite all of their active players being fully vaccinated. The lone member of the Nets who is not vaccinated, and not around the team is of course, seven-time All-Star Kyrie Irving. His absence has been the […]

When Sean Marks and the front office designed this Brooklyn Nets team, they knew it was going to be extremely top-heavy. With a major component of total cap space being allocated to Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving, that left precious few resources left for the rest of the squad. No one should be […]

The Brooklyn Nets have come up with a simple preventive measure to keep their stars productive for the entire season. Having the best record in the East comes with a lot of hard work and it certainly is the narrative of the Nets‘ impressive run thus far. To avoid any future uncertainties and injuries, the […]

Kevin Durant entered Sunday’s game against the Detroit Pistons as an MVP candidate and as the NBA’s scoring leader, dropping 28.4 points per game. But in a road game without the resting James Harden, KD erupted for the most points any player has scored this season with 51 markers. The Brooklyn Nets superstar was locked […]
