The Brooklyn Nets haven’t had an ideal start to the season, but they have to move on quickly. On Sunday night, the Nets capped their first back-to-back of the season with a blowout loss to the Indiana Pacers.
The Brooklyn Nets had a chance to get their first win during Sunday’s home matchup against the Indiana Pacers. Instead, they rolled over in an embarrassing 136-109 defeat during the second night of a back-to-back.
Throughout NBA history, only 40 players have scored 60 or more points during an NBA regular-season game. How many of the 40 can you name in six minutes?
The Brooklyn Nets are still looking for a defensive identity, offensive consistency, and of course, their first win of the season. The Indiana Pacers had no interest in aiding the search Sunday evening.
Who is the X factor for every NBA player this season? We’re not talking about the go-to guy, like Nikola Jokic or Steph Curry. It could be a big-name player, an all-star, or a bench player, but they are the pivot point for their team.
The Brooklyn Nets were blown out by the Indiana Pacers 136-109. Nolan Traore was a bright spot, finishing with 17 points on 6-of-11 shooting and five assists.
Brooklyn Nets rookie Mikel Brown Jr. will miss Sunday’s back-to-back against the Indiana Pacers due to back injury management. The No. 6 pick missed most of the preseason due to an ankle injury.
The Brooklyn Nets are still searching for their first win of the 2026-27 season, and they’ll have to find it on tired legs. Brooklyn nearly erased a 22-point deficit in Cleveland on Saturday, outscoring the Cavaliers 41-29 in the fourth quarter before falling 125-121.
Barclays Center looked different when Brooklyn Nets fans arrived for Opening Night Wednesday, their first game since look on April 9. On one level, it’s part of yet another upgrade at the arena but on another level, it’s different.
That turned out to be much more interesting than anyone expected — especially entering the fourth. For most of Saturday night’s matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Brooklyn Nets looked headed for an ugly blowout.
Typically, the path to the NBA for most players is to spend at least a season in college to get high-level basketball and important development under their belts.
The Brooklyn Nets dropped their second game of the season, falling to the Cleveland Cavaliers 125-121. Michael Porter Jr. put in solid work, finishing with 28 points on 10-of-18 shooting, nine rebounds and four steals.
Opening Night was great until it wasn’t for the Nets. The best part about basketball? There’s always a next one. Brooklyn opened its 60th season with a 110-103 loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday.
The Brooklyn Nets are looking to avoid an 0-2 start, and the battle in the paint could be the deciding factor. On Saturday night, the Brooklyn Nets will play their first road game of the season as they head to Cleveland to battle the Cavaliers.
The season has begun, but the good feelings have not joined the party. The Brooklyn Nets began their 60th season at home against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday, but everyone left it feeling frustrated and disappointed as the home team lost 110-103.
Brooklyn Nets rookie Mikel Brown Jr. isn’t coming off his minutes restriction “anytime soon.” The No. 6 pick played 20 minutes off the bench during his NBA debut on Wednesday.
The Brooklyn Nets were unable to come out on top in their first game of the season, but they have to put that game behind them and move on quickly. On Wednesday night, the start of a new season in Brooklyn was met with disappointment as the Nets fell to the Charlotte Hornets.
The Brooklyn Nets lead the league in future draft picks with 32, and their cache of future firsts — 13 — is second only to the Oklahoma City Thunder who have two more.
There was plenty to enjoy at the start of opening night. The new court, the jerseys, the starting lineup video and Vince Carter’s brief speech all helped set the stage for a new season in Brooklyn.
Julius Randle finished with 33 points on 11-of-18 shooting, eight rebounds and seven assists in his Brooklyn Nets debut, giving his team a much-needed spark.
The Charlotte Hornets opened their 2026-27 NBA season with a 110-103 road victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night. Charlotte received strong performances from its new additions, including Grayson Allen and Naz Reid, to secure an important opening-night win at Barclays Center.
Upon starting training camp with the Brooklyn Nets, Julius Randle told rookie Mikel Brown Jr. he believes his new team can "shock the world." If Randle and the Nets are looking for inspiration for a massive turnaround, they can examine what the Charlotte Hornets achieved last season.
Ahead of a pivotal season with the Brooklyn Nets, NBA champion forward Michael Porter Jr. offered a candid perspective on wealth, personal peace, and his upcoming free agency.
Michael Porter Jr. would like a little more home-court advantage in Brooklyn. Some nights, he says, the Nets aren’t getting much of one. Porter pointed to a recent preseason matchup with Philadelphia as an example of visiting fans making themselves comfortable in the Nets’ building.
Going from a contender in Minnesota to a rebuilding team in Brooklyn might not sound like much of a reward. Julius Randle sees it differently. The veteran forward said he’s happy to be back in New York and, more than anything, happy to feel wanted.
