In a best-case scenario, it’d be just a one-game need for the Nets. They’d get Cam Thomas — who missed Tuesday’s win with lower back tightness that head coach Jordi Fernandez called “nothing major” — back in their lineup Friday and wouldn’t start Jalen Wilson. But in the context of…
Trendon Watford tying for the Nets’ best plus-minus on Sunday was as much a recrimination of how poorly they played as how well his season debut went. The Nets forward had been sidelined since camp with a hamstring injury, finally making his debut in their 114-104 loss to the Knicks…
Right now, the Nets have a big problem. As in: They don’t have any big men. The only two centers on the roster — starter Nic Claxton and backup Day’Ron Sharpe — are sidelined, injured and unavailable. Both will miss Tuesday’s NBA Cup tilt at Barclays Center against the visiting…
It’s funny, isn’t it? A few years ago the Nets went about the cold-blooded task of building a team that was custom-designed to play for a championship. Forget how it ended. Remember how it began, when they boldly signed Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. They did this knowing that Durant…
Jordi Fernandez couldn’t complain about the Nets’ fight Friday night. In fact, he loved it. Consider his message received. Two nights after the Nets’ new coach tore into his players for their effort in an ugly loss to the reigning champion Celtics, they responded with a gritty performance. Cam Thomas,…
Ben Simmons and Dorian Finney-Smith both missed Wednesday’s 139-114 loss to Boston, with Simmons needing an MRI exam on his tight left calf. It marked the first game he had missed due to injury this season, with the other three all rest days during back-to-backs. “Dorian is just an ankle…
This time, the Nets had to face Jaylen Brown. And a fully engaged salty Boston team. The result of this rematch was predictable, the Nets suffering a 139-114 loss at the hands of the reigning champions before a sellout crowd of 18,112 at Barclays Center. Dennis Schroder looks to put…
Noah Clowney hadn’t just been waiting for a breakout performance. He’d been working toward one. The Nets young big finally got it on Monday, shooting them to a win at New Orleans. Clowney had 15 points and hit 5 of 10 from deep. Noah Clowney defends Brandon Ingraham during the…
NEW ORLEANS — Monday is Veterans Day. But it’s a different group of vets — the older leaders on the Nets roster — that are behind Brooklyn’s surprising start. Having committed to a rebuild, the Nets were projected to be the worst team in the league and muster a win…
BOSTON — The Nets respect the Celtics and how they play but aren’t trying to emulate or imitate the reigning champs as much as beat them and carve out their own winning identity. Friday’s crusher was a tough lesson on the road, dropping a 108-104 overtime heartbreaker before a typically…
