Two years ago, San Antonio was the worst team in the West. Today they are the most popular team in the NBA. Brooklyn had to take hope from that, while the Spurs dove over them. The tanking Nets’ 126-110 loss to San Antonio Thursday before a sellout crowd of 17,548 at Barclays Center put them […]
Michael Porter Jr. was sidelined Monday with tendonitis in the same right knee, where he suffered an MCL sprain earlier this season. Coach Jordi Fernández downplayed any concerns before the Nets defeated the Bulls 123-115. “It’s the same knee, but nothing related. Tendinitis is something that affects athletes in different parts of the body,” says […]
A sold-out crowd filled the Barclays Center to watch what could potentially be LeBron James’ last game in New York. They watched King James give the Nets a royal beating. The Nets were defeated 125-109 by James and his Lakers on Tuesday night before a crowd of 18,248. And it wasn’t as close as the […]
Michael Porter Jr. was rejected. The Nets forward had been calling to make his first All-Star Game a dream, and he had a great thing going during a career year. But he was one of the most glaring omissions on Sunday and was not among the Eastern Conference’s seven reserves. Porter – who sat out […]

With the schedule getting busier – and the tank race getting serious – Brooklyn was able to rest players more often. No one will be more important than Michael Porter Jr., who was rested after Sunday’s loss to Memphis. The Nets fell to 0-7 on the season without Porter, giving them an eight-point lead with […]
As endgame implosions go, this one was pretty epic. The Nets turned their first potential win without Michael Porter Jr. into a heartbreaker. They turned a come-from-behind rally into a collapse. And when it was over — when they had gotten the final 13 points of the game — Brooklyn was coming off a 103-98 […]
Trae Young initially wanted Brooklyn. The Nets definitely didn’t want him. Atlanta finally traded Young to Washington on Wednesday, but the fact that the Nets had been an attractive destination — reportedly one of two landing spots initially proposed by Young’s camp — for a four-time All-Star not only dispelled any ideas that stars would […]
Michael Porter Jr. from Brooklyn returned from illness just in time to face the team that traded him this summer. And he made that reunion a winning one. Porter led the Nets to a 127-115 victory over the Nuggets in front of a sellout crowd of 17,548 at Barclays Center on Sunday. It snapped a […]
