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 […]
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 […]
INDIANAPOLIS – Everyone knew the Nets would tank this season. That doesn’t make it any easier. The winless Nets are off to the second-worst start in team history. And they’re trying to make sure they keep their wits about them going into Wednesday night, to ensure their morale survives a horrific 0-7 start to the […]

With Saraf struggling defensively and Martin having played well to close out the game in Atlanta, Fernández had hoped to give his winless Nets a spark with Martin starting and […]
Six losses in a season that could be ten times bigger, and Nets coach Jordi Fernández is already reaching for the proverbial sword. This rebuild was always going to be ugly. But because his winless team showed no courage, defense or willpower, Fernández took the blame after Sunday’s disjointed 129-105 rout at the hands of […]
The early numbers were ugly and unacceptable for a rebuilding team with as little margin for error as the Nets. Brooklyn is at or near the bottom in every major defensive category following its 0-5 start in Sunday night’s game against the 76ers at Barclays Center. And both players and coaches understand that the problem […]
Terance Mann knew this could be a possibility after arriving in Brooklyn. There were instances last season – when he split time between the Clippers and Hawks – where he had to be on the ball during offensive possessions. But as the oldest player on the youngest team in the league, there could be scenarios […]
This season is all about development and Brooklyn’s five first-round picks. But as Jordi Fernández tried to rally his Nets, he sat rookies Egor Dëmin and Ben Saraf for the entire fourth quarter of their 117-112 loss to the Hawks on Wednesday before veterans Tyrese Martin and Terance Mann. “Tyrese was great,” Fernández said. “So […]
