Welcome to The Long Forecast on NetsDaily. We are officially in 2026, which means the NBA draft is now this year! As the NCAA season progresses, we see more players making a name for themselves as a super-talented draft class continues to take shape. Where do the Nets’ picks sit? Currently, Brooklyn owns the league’s […]
The Long Island Nets returned to their home court on Sunday afternoon for a showdown with the San Diego Clippers. Off the backs of the three Brooklyn Nets two-way players – EJ Liddell, Tyson Etienne, and Chaney Johnson – the Nets G League affiliate picked up a hard-fought win, 119-115. E.J. Liddell, who’s been on […]
This story was graciously written for NetsDaily by Eliott Caillot, a French student currently enrolled at Butler University. Though he works for The Playoffs, a French-language sports outlet, Eliott was recently credentialed for a few Brooklyn Nets games and practices during a trip to New York. He also conducted a lengthy interview with rookie Nolan […]
Though Cam Johnson, dealing with a knee injury, could not make his return to Barclays Center on Sunday afternoon, the Brooklyn Nets and Denver Nuggets still had much catching up to do before the matinee contest. Bruce Brown reunited with Mr. Whammy, and Nuggets Head Coach David Adelman shared his admiration for Michael Porter Jr., […]
Sunday hoops at the Barclays! The Nets are regrouping after a three-game skid, particularly following a tough loss on Friday night to Washington. To be fair, they were down a ton of guys… but still. On the others side, Denver remains among the elite but Joker is out. That’s one less headache for Brooklyn. Nuggets […]
If you want to watch a play that pretty much summed up the entire game, just witness Bub Carrington making Nolan Traore hit the deck to end the third quarter. Friday night’s 119-99 loss to the Washington Wizards was bad, but not to the point where it will ruin your day. We didn’t have our […]
Two of the Brooklyn Nets three two-ways donned Long Island Nets gear in Cleveland Friday to take on the Cleveland Charge and although the Nets G Leaguers lost in an overtime thriller, 131-126, both Tyson Etienne and newly signed Chaney Johnson played well, Johnson in his debut with the organization. Etienne played one of his […]
Sometimes the schedule hands you a game that feels less like a test and more like a setup. With their best three players all sidelined on the second night of a back-to-back, it didn’t take a genius to predict how Friday night’s game was going to turn out. While losing 119–99 to the Washington Wizards, […]
The Nets opened the New Year looking more like the team we’ve grown used to in recent seasons, rather than the version we watched throughout December. They’ll be shorthanded once again… but this time the matchup is far more forgiving. On the bright side, four out of five rookies are active tonight. Enjoy! 🏀 KEY […]
2026 is here and the Brooklyn Nets are looking to get back in the winner’s circle. They were shorthanded in last night’s matchup against the Houston Rockets and old friend Kevin Durant, and predictably got demolished by 24 points. It was their worst loss in a while, but fortunately they’re right back on the court […]
Egor Dëmin and Michael Porter Jr. combined for 12 3-pointers in a loss to the Golden State Warriors, but neither of them were available on New Year’s Day when the Brooklyn Nets were hosting the Houston Rockets. Terance Mann would also miss the contest, leaving the Nets down three starts in their first contest of […]
In a lengthy discussion of the Nets immediate future — particularly which teams might be interested in Michael Porter Jr., Jake Fischer of The Steinline also writes that Brooklyn’s timeframe for contention could very well depend on how well they do in this year’s NBA Draft where they currently have a lottery pick. Indeed, he […]
Progress isn’t always linear, especially when the athlete in question isn’t old enough to buy a drink. At BYU, Egor Demin was a 6’9” walking mismatch who overwhelmed opponents with his unusual combination of size and coordination as a ball-handler. After all, he was the tallest guard measured at the NBA Combine since the league […]
Happy New Year to you all. We hope and pray that everyone gets to accomplish all of their dreams and goals in the year of 2026. On the first day of the new year, the Nets will be taking on the red hot Houston Rockets led of course by ex-Net Kevin Durant, who will be […]
Happy New Year! The Nets didn’t end 2025 with a win, but they ended the year on a high note… all things considered. The team is gelling particularly well on the defensive side of the ball since the start of December. This matchup presents its own challenges, one of them being Brooklyn’s ol’ friend Kevin […]
The Brooklyn Nets’ final practice of 2025, even as it followed a loss to the Golden State Warriors, was quite chipper. Drake Powell and Nolan Traore got up extra shots together, working on their skills but also taking the time to laugh with each other and their coaches. Danny Wolf could hardly concentrate on free-throws […]
The Nets do not traditionally provide return dates for injured players. They may hint at it, with Jordi Fernandez noting a player is “making progress” or has begun 5-on-5 play. Then, finally, said player won’t show up on the status report for an upcoming game, meaning he’s ready to go. At this point, Haywood Highsmith […]
“What a strange day for him, you know, to come to his new arena, go to his new office, come back to our locker room, help us play a game, try to win a game, and then that’s it. He’s staying here, and it’s almost surreal. So, he’s been a great coach, great friend. I’m […]
Steve Kerr knew what his Golden State Warriors were in for when they visited the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night: “Every time we’ve played them over the last couple years, they’ve been energetic, well-organized, well-coached. So, you know, they came to our place last year and beat us. We came here last year, and it […]
Umm… the Brooklyn Nets have been a really good basketball team and dare we say fun? Other than abysmal three-point shooting, the Nets approached near perfection Saturday in Minneapolis. Cam Thomas returned with 30 points in 19 minutes, arguably his best game as a Net. It’s all strange? 🏀 KEY INFO Golden State Warriors (16-16) […]
If the Brooklyn Nets beat the Golden State Warriors Monday night, with or without Steph Curry flashing shots from half court or beyond, the Nets will have won eight games out of 10 in December and likely secured their reputation as one of the NBA’s best defensive teams. Going into the 7:30 p.m. ET contest […]
Ladies and gentlemen, I know many of you will not want to hear this, but the Brooklyn Nets have been a really good basketball team, and dare I say it, REALLY fun to watch. Other than shooting 27% from beyond the arc, the Nets approached near perfection Saturday in Minneapolis. More than that, they simply […]
Following their two-game split in the NBA G League Showcase, the Long Island Nets returned to their normal schedule Sunday afternoon traveling to Atlanta to face the College Park Skyhawks in suburban Atlanta. Before the game, Ben Saraf was assigned to Long Island to give him some more reps in the G League in a […]
There have been some big days in the history of the Nets. On June 27, 2001, the New Jersey Nets sent Eddie Griffin, the seventh overall pick in that night’s Draft to the Houston Rockets for a package of Richard Jefferson, Jason Collins and Brandon Armstrong. The same day, the two principals, Rod Thorn and […]
Fresh off a thrilling overtime loss to the Denver Nuggets, the finale of a five-game Christmas Day slate, the Minnesota Timberwolves traveled home to face the well-rested Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night. To call it a trap game would be disrespectful to Minnesota, actually — the West’s 5-seed certainly has a focused coaching staff aware […]
