Nets travel to Chicago for afternoon road trip vs. Bulls

Photo by Melissa Majchrzak/NBAE via Getty Images Ya win some … then you win some more. Not only did the Nets trounce the fourth seed Hornets, 120-108, Thursday night, they introduced a new starter, LaMarcus Aldridge. Aldridge, who hadn’t played in a month after being shut down by the Spurs, had 11 points, nine rebounds, six assists, two steals, a 3-pointer and a block in 33 minutes. His +22 rating was his best since December 28, 2019 and in one first quarter stretch the 6’11” center accounted for 15 straight points for Brooklyn, either scoring or assisting. The opponent Sunday afternoon will be the new-look Chicago Bulls. It’s an odd road trip. The game is sandwiched between a four-game …

Long Island Nets finish season 7-8 as Reggie Perry gets called back to Brooklyn

Photo by Chris Marion/NBAE via Getty Images The last game of the season was one to remember for the Long Island Nets. Undermanned with only eight players available, they put it all on the line one last time to defeat the Canton Charge, the Cavaliers affiliate, 116-107. As Jeremiah Martin said, “I know this could be my last time playing with a lot of those guys, so we just went out there and had fun with them.” Indeed, post-game, word came from Brooklyn that rookie Reggie Perry is headed back to the big team, his time in the Orlando “bubble” largely a success as he averaged 18.1 points, 8.9 rebounds and…

Nets eight-game wining streak comes to a close as Brooklyn falls to Dallas, 115-98

Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images The NBA’s largest winning streak — and the Nets longest in 14 years— has come to a thudding end.

Nets move Nic Claxton status to ‘questionable’ for Clippers game

Photo by Tayfun Coskun/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images Steve Nash said a few weeks back that he expected Nic Claxton to return around the end of February … and it’s officially the end of February. For the first time this year, the Nets injury report lists the 21-year-old as “questionable,” not “out.” Claxton, who underwent shoulder surgery and missed the “bubble,” was diagnosed with tendinopathy of the right knee at the beginning of training camp back in early December. It’s difficult to imagine the second year player would get minutes vs. the Clippers even if moved up to “available” on Sunday. The Nets injury report came out after Steve Nash spoke with reporters earlier in the day. So there’s no details about …

Short-handed Nets collapse in third as Philly beats Brooklyn, 124-108

Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports We could all use a couple of days off. It wasn’t pretty —and it got positively ugly— as the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the short-handed Brooklyn Nets, 124-108.
