The Brooklyn Nets, despite being projected as one of the worst teams in the NBA heading into the season, still faced dilemmas with roster cuts during the preseason.
The Brooklyn Nets are in the midst of their worst start (2-12) to a season in 16 years. However, after the team made an NBA-record five first-round picks in June’s draft, this season is about laying the foundation for future success.
On Friday evening, the Brooklyn Nets will take on the Boston Celtics, hoping to distance itself from the bottom tier of the NBA. So far, Brooklyn has the fourth-worst record in the league at 2-12, beating out only the Wizards, Pelicans and Pacers.
The Brooklyn Nets might be out of NBA Cup contention, but they could still have an impact on the race. Over the first two games of NBA Cup play, the Nets played some solid basketball.
Who is the best player in the history of every NBA franchise? That’s a tough question. Who is the most iconic player in the history of every NBA franchise?
The Brooklyn Nets are set to take on the Boston Celtics Friday night, hoping to snag just their third win on the season. The Nets and Celtics faced off days ago, with Boston earning a 14-point lead in Barclays Center.
The Brooklyn Nets shocked many when they selected Egor Demin with the No. 8 pick overall in the 2025 NBA Draft. Many were shocked the Nets drafted a kid who struggled to shoot at a high rate for BYU last season, though Demin's shot mechanics sold some on the idea that his jumper could translate to the next level.
Jordi Fernández often says some variation of “it’s not just about the rookies, it’s about the whole group.” He went back to the well after the Brooklyn Nets fell to 2-12 by losing a home game to the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night, in which Egor Dëmin played just eight second-half minutes (five before garbage time).
The Brooklyn Nets sit logically at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings to prime themselves for a top pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. The season has unfolded as expected –– perhaps worse than some hopeful thinkers had theorized –– and the Nets' offensive identity has reflected their rebuilding mentality.
Egor Demin is facing steep expectations after the Brooklyn Nets selected him with their first lottery pick in 15 years. The 19-year-old is receiving tutelage from Nets great Vince Carter as he begins his NBA career.
The Brooklyn Nets have been one of the worst teams in the league thus far, but that might not be enough to accomplish their goals for the season. Coming into 2025-26, the Nets understood that this is one of the most important seasons the franchise has had in recent memory.
No one is upset that the Brooklyn Nets are off to a 2-12 start this season. It was expected that they'd lose plenty of games, and in many cases, that's what is needed, considering they're gunning for a top draft pick in 2026.
Vince Carter had an electrifying run with the New Jersey Nets two decades ago, bringing life to a championship-contending team that was on the verge of a collapse.
He couldn’t play basketball for months. He couldn’t jump, couldn’t run, and was barely allowed to bend his knees. Egor Demin spent part of his summer stuck in a chair, shooting stationary because that was the only way he was allowed to touch a basketball.
Brooklyn Nets Forward Michael Porter Jr. is heating up early in the 2025-26 season. His surge could help the rebuilding franchise find a trade partner before the trade deadline rolls around.
The Brooklyn Nets fell 113-99 to the Boston Celtics on Tuesday at Barclays Center. Jordi Fernandez’s squad led by as much as 10 early in the game and regained the lead midway through the fourth quarter, but could not muster the offense to get over the hump.
In another night where the Brooklyn Nets failed to eclipse 100 points, Day'Ron Sharpe played one of his best games of the season in just 18 minutes off the bench.
Brooklyn Nets rookie Egor Demin started his sixth consecutive game on Tuesday but was once again benched down the stretch. Demin logged just eight second-half minutes during a 113-99 loss to the Boston Celtics, the fewest of any full-time member of Brooklyn’s rotation.
Brooklyn has seen the best of Michael Porter Jr. this season, and it could pay off for the Nets. Coming into this season, the Nets knew that taking on Porter was a bit of a risk, but it was one worth taking, given the unprotected pick Denver attached in the Cam Johnson swap.

Michael Porter Jr. scored a season-high 34 points and Tyrese Martin added a campaign-best 20 off the bench, lifting the visiting Brooklyn Nets to a 129-106 victory over the reeling Washington Wizards on Sunday.
Back in January 2023, Brooklyn Nets center Nic Claxton boasted to reporters that he'd never lost to the New York Knicks. Since that statement, Claxton and the Nets haven't beaten them.
