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…
The Lakers’ decision to keep Bronny James away from G League road games has sparked some debate about the level of preferential treatment the franchise is giving to LeBron’s son. Bronny, 20, played just one collegiate season at USC in which he did not light up the stat sheet before…
BOSTON — The defending NBA champions held off the league’s hottest team on Tuesday night, with Jayson Tatum scoring 33 points and adding 12 rebounds to lead the Boston Celtics to a 120-117 victory over Cleveland and hand the Cavaliers their first loss after 15 straight wins to open the…
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…
Miles McBride missed a second straight game as the Knicks waited for his inflamed knee to “calm down,” according to Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau. McBride, the sixth man, hyperextended his left knee in the second game of the season last month and played the following nine with a black wrap…
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…
For the most part, Karl-Anthony Towns has been as advertised. Elite shooter? Check. Versatile scorer? Check. Solid defensive rebounder? Check. Shaky defender/rim protector? Check. But there’s an element to his game that has proven surprising to even his teammates. “He’s even a better passer than I thought,” Josh Hart said…
Karl-Anthony Towns returned from one injury and picked up another. With another game looming Monday against the Wizards, Towns gave a positive but vague answer about his availability. “That’s always the plan: To play,” Towns said. Towns, who finished with 26 points and 15 boards, took a hard spill late…
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,…
