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,…
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…
Every time you look at the replay, you expect the video to somehow correct itself. That’s how crazy it was. That’s how inexplicable it was, and is. There’s Detroit’s Cade Cunningham finding Jalen Duren for a slam dunk with less than a second and a half remaining in OT in…
In what could have been an ominous possibility for the Knicks in the backcourt, all three of their banged-up guards were able to suit up Wednesday night against the Bulls. Most notably, starting point guard Jalen Brunson remained in the starting lineup after he was listed as questionable for the…
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…
