Latest Updates Around The World
WASHINGTON – They used to call Michael Porter Jr. “Never Swing the Rock.” After dishing out a career-high seven assists in back-to-back games, that name may have to change. Nets coach Jordi Fernández challenged Porter – who always moves well off the ball – to get back to cutting and not fall in love with […]
WASHINGTON – Egor Dëmin started the past four games for the Nets, but logged just seven second-half minutes in Orlando on Friday. Coach Jordi Fernández drew the lottery pick at the end of a 25-5 Magic run, teaming with veteran Tyrese Martin to steady the ship. “At some point you try to find a group […]
Besides hoping to go No. 1 overall in the 2026 NBA Draft, the Nets should focus their attention on developing at least one of their young draftees into a strong foundation for the future. In the Nets’ 119-109 loss to the Raptors on Tuesday night, Egor Dëmin impressed with a career-high 16 points, shooting 5 […]
While the Nets are dealing with the long-term loss of leading scorer Cam Thomas, they got some good injury news on Day’Ron Sharpe. After being forced out of Sunday’s loss with what was initially reported as left hamstring tightness, Sharpe – the lone center behind Nic Claxton – was evaluated and has a gluteal muscle […]
This is how to refuel. After getting off to a surprisingly strong start last season under head coach Jordi Fernández, when the Nets were 5-6 in their first eleven games, they enter this season’s eleventh game with a 1-9 mark and a pair of lopsided losses. Their defense is terrible, and so far their draft […]
The Nets and Knicks aren’t just five miles apart. And the East River. They are on opposite sides of the basketball world. For the Knicks and Mike Brown, it’s all about reaching the NBA Finals. Rebuilding Nets isn’t about winning games, it’s about winning the lottery. That gap was painfully put on display in the […]
Net center Day’Ron Sharpe left Sunday’s game with left hamstring tightness. The Nets offered no timeline or clarity on the severity of the injury. “No, there has been no testing. It’s just tightness. So we will do our evaluation and do everything we have to do,” head coach Jordi Fernández said. “So we’ll see. But […]
Mitchell Robinson achieved another statistical anomaly. After collecting a ridiculous nine offensive rebounds in just 16 minutes of the previous game, the starting center finished plus-40 in just 17 minutes in Sunday’s 134-98 windfall over the Nets. Even Robinson was impressed. ‘You said plus-40 [17] minutes?” said Robinson. “Damn.” Robinson’s stat line also included two […]
As simple as it should have been. The Knicks took care of business against the tanking Nets, peppering their rival with a balanced attack in a wire-to-wire conquest, 134-98. Karl-Anthony Towns led the scoring with 28 points for the Knicks (6-3), who won their fourth straight game while improving to 6-0 at home. Jalen Brunson […]
Nets rookie Egor Dëmin got his first career start on Friday. More could happen if Cam Thomas is out long-term. Dëmin had eight points, seven assists, three rebounds, a steal and just one turnover in 23:03 against the Pistons. Egor Dëmin appears to be able to make a move during the Nets’ home loss to […]
