The Nets are facing their toughest test of the year just as they’re getting to be their healthiest this season. The Nets tip off a road trip Friday at reigning champion Boston, and both Ben Simmons and Nic Claxton practiced on Wednesday afternoon. How coach Jordi Fernandez opts to deploy…
A career-best start and a clear leadership role have so far highlighted what may be a full season of Dennis Schroder in Brooklyn. Schroder, who the Nets traded for in February 2023, has also started the season seemingly on a mission to get the fans to know him on a…
Ben Simmons didn’t even get halfway to his magic number. As the Nets struggled Sunday through their worst offensive game of the young season, their highest-paid player attempted just four shots in 25 minutes during a 106-92 loss to the Pistons at Barclays Center. “I want him to shoot more…
NBA players are too talented for defenses to take away everything. Winning and losing depends on taking away the right things, and taking them away well enough. That’s what the Nets have done when it mattered to surpass expectations coming into Sunday’s matinee against visiting Detroit. The rebuilding Nets, like…
Nic Claxton may not be back to starting, or even to full speed yet, but he was good enough Sunday to help slow Giannis Antetokounmpo and hand the Nets their first win. “Nic said it after the Orlando game, I gotta be better. And [Sunday] he played like we want…
