PHOENIX — On a maddening night for the Nets, one scene encapsulated their frustration better than words ever could. Ben Simmons got whistled for his fifth foul for a moving pick — one multiple veteran scouts agreed was suspect — then got hit with technical from the bench. Seconds later…
Kevin Durant, off to his most prolific season since his last scoring title in 2014, is being serenaded with MVP chants. The Nets star is succeeding despite an anomaly in his shooting: He has the best field-goal percentage of his career (.548), but the worst 3-point percentage (.346) since his…
INDIANAPOLIS — Kevin Durant will head into the Nets’ game against the Pacers on Friday off an uncharacteristically quiet game, in which he scored just 12 points Wednesday in Toronto. Nevertheless, Durant couldn’t have been happier after the Nets eased their way to a 112-98 win to boost their confidence. …
A simple question, but a significant one for the Nets: Why was Ime Udoka suspended? Why did the Celtics ban their head coach for a year? Why would Boston allow a prized coach, coming off a breakout season that fell two wins shy of an NBA title, to leave for…

Kyrie Irving disagrees with the implication he is anti-Semitic. After the Nets star on Thursday tweeted a link to “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America,” a 2018 film that is filled with anti-Semitic disinformation, he began to receive blowback from his employers on Friday.
