Top Nets News

  • Nets' Dorian Finney-Smith: Questionable for Tuesday

    Finney-Smith (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

    Finney-Smith was probable for Sunday's game against the Spurs due to a sore left ankle, but he was able to play through the issue. However, he was a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup, and the Nets could wait to see how he feels in pregame warmups Tuesday before determining his status.

  • Nets' Dennis Schroder: Goes for 19 with seven dimes

    Schroder posted 19 points (8-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 42 minutes during Sunday's 122-115 overtime loss to San Antonio.

    Schroder was far from being at his best in terms of efficiency, needing 19 shots to score 19 points, but he still posted a decent stat line overall, making an impact both as a scorer and playmaker. Over his last 10 games, all as a starter for Brooklyn, Schroder is averaging 17.5 points, 7.0 assists and 2.9 rebounds per game. Despite the fact he's going to have poor shooting performances from time to time, Schroder will remain a valuable fantasy asset as long as he plays heavy minutes in a struggling Brooklyn team.

  • Nets' Nic Claxton: Records double-double Sunday

    Claxton racked up 11 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Sunday's 122-115 overtime loss to the Spurs.

    Claxton recorded his 26th double-double of the season, and it's worth noting he's achieved that feat in five of his last seven appearances as well, cementing his status as a bonafide two-way threat in a struggling Brooklyn team. Claxton is averaging 13.9 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.9 blocks per game this month.

  • Nets' Cam Thomas: Scores 31 points in OT loss

    Thomas posted 31 points (12-23 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two steals across 39 minutes during Sunday's 122-115 overtime loss to San Antonio.

    Thomas surpassed the 30-point mark for the second time across his last five games, and he continues to make an impact as Brooklyn's most reliable scoring option, even ahead of Mikal Bridges, in recent weeks. Since returning to the lineup five games ago, Thomas is averaging 26.8 points per game while shooting 48.5 percent from the field and 43.8 percent from three-point range. Those numbers will play out in any format.

  • Nets' Dorian Finney-Smith: Good to go

    Finney-Smith (ankle) will play in Sunday's game against San Antonio, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

    Finney-Smith was deemed a game-time decision Sunday, but after going through warmups he has been upgraded to available. The eighth-year pro is averaging 10.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.4 steals in 31.8 minutes over his last five appearances.

  • Nets' Dorian Finney-Smith: Officially a game-time decision

    Finney-Smith (ankle) is a game-time decision for Sunday's game against San Antonio, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

    Finney-Smith will go through his standard pregame warm-ups, per coach Kevin Ollie, which will subsequently determine his status for Sunday's contest. If Finney-Smith is unable to suit up, Cameron Johnson could be leaned on after averaging 28.0 minutes across two contests since returning from an ankle injury, while Lonnie Walker and Jalen Wilson have operated with enlarged roles when Finney-Smith has missed contests in the past.

  • Nets' Dorian Finney-Smith: Considered probable Sunday

    Finney-Smith is probable to play in Sunday's game against San Antonio due to left ankle soreness.

    Finney-Smith's injury is likely something that cropped up in Saturday's 121-100 loss to the Pacers. The ankle issue didn't result in an early exit, as Finney-Smith finished with 12 points (5-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal in 26 minutes.

  • Nets' Mikal Bridges: Woeful shooting performance

    Bridges contributed seven points (1-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes during Saturday's 121-100 loss to the Pacers.

    Bridges had one of his worst offensive showings of the season Saturday, finishing with just one made field goal and failing to reach the 10-point mark for the fourth time in the campaign. However, Bridges is too talented to struggle this badly over a prolonged stretch, and he should be able to bounce back when the Nets face the Spurs on Sunday.

  • Nets' Cam Thomas: Leads Brooklyn in scoring

    Thomas totaled 22 points (7-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds and two assists across 32 minutes during Saturday's 121-100 loss to the Pacers.

    Thomas carried the Nets in scoring and finished just two rebounds shy of a double-double, but he couldn't do everything on his own, and the Nets lost by a sizable 21-point margin. However, the team's overall struggles shouldn't impact Thomas' fantasy upside, as he has scored at least 20 points in each of his last four appearances since returning from a six-game absence March 9. Thomas has averaged 22.8 points per game since moving to a permanent starting role Jan. 27.

  • Nets' Dennis Schroder: Scores 13 points with 13 shots

    Schroder accumulated 13 points (4-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Saturday's 121-100 loss to the Pacers.

    Schroder didn't have his best shooting performance, but in reality, the entire Nets offense looked sluggish Saturday, with Schroder being one of the few players who posted a decent stat line. The veteran floor general has failed to reach the 20-point mark in his last four outings since scoring a season-high 31 points against the Pistons on March 7, but he remains a productive player while holding the starting role at point guard. He's averaging 17.2 points, 6.4 assists and 2.6 rebounds per game since moving to the first unit permanently.

  • Nets' Noah Clowney: Returns to NBA

    The Nets recalled Clowney from the G League's Long Island Nets on Saturday.

    Clowney will be available for Saturday's game versus the Pacers. However, the rookie forward is unlikely to receive significant playing time.

  • Nets' Ben Simmons: Goes under knife

    Simmons underwent a successful microscopic partial discectomy Thursday and is expected to make a full recovery for training camp next season, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

    Simmons discectomy will work to alleviate the nerve impingement in his lower back. Removing part of the problematic disc in Simmons' lower spine addresses the root cause of the series of injuries that limited him to just 15 appearances this season. The 27-year-old has suited up for just 57 contests across the last three campaigns, and his body breaking down has been a serious matter over that span. Simmons teases rare two-way play at his size for a ballhandler, but a lengthy rehab and re-strengthening process will now ensue in advance of the 2024-25 campaign -- for which he is owed $40.3 million by Brooklyn in the final year of his contract.

  • Nets' Dorian Finney-Smith: Workload declines Wednesday

    Finney-Smith posted six points (2-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 114-106 loss to the Magic.

    After playing more than 30 minutes in six straight games coming into Wednesday, Finney-Smith saw his court time decline as Cameron Johnson rejoined the frontcourt rotation. Finney-Smith had averaged 12.0 points, 4.8 boards, 3.0 assists, 2.5 threes and 1.0 steals in 35.2 minutes a contest while getting that elevated workload, but it looks like his run of modest fantasy utility might have come to an end.

  • Nets' Cam Thomas: Leading scorer in loss

    Thomas posted a team-high 21 points (9-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 114-106 loss to the Magic.

    The third-year guard topped 20 points for the third straight game since returning from an ankle/foot sprain, although Wednesday's output was his lowest of the three. Thomas appears to be locked into a starting spot for the Nets as long as he can continue to provide an offensive spark -- he's started 16 straight appearances dating back to Jan. 27, averaging 22.9 points, 4.0 boards, 3.5 assists, 2.6 threes and 1.1 steals during that time while shooting 42.4 percent from beyond the arc.

  • Nets' Cameron Johnson: Solid minutes in return

    Johnson (ankle) finished with 13 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 29 minutes Wednesday in the Nets' 114-106 loss to the Magic.

    Johnson's return from a three-game absence brought the Brooklyn rotation back to full strength, save for Ben Simmons (back), who is out for the season. Though the Nets deployed Johnson off the bench while Mikal Bridges and Dorian Finney-Smith retained the starting forward roles, Johnson still picked up four more minutes than Finney-Smith and was the far better fantasy contributor. It's unclear whether Johnson will eventually supplant Finney-Smith on the top unit, but even if he doesn't, a 25-to-30-minute role would still be enough to make Johnson a viable option in 12-team leagues. Johnson isn't a fit for every roster in category leagues, however, as he's a plus asset in three-pointers but a neutral or negative contributor in every other category.
