Rodions Kurucs Sitting Out on Sunday

Brooklyn Nets forward Rodions Kurucs (ankle) is sitting out of Sunday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Kurucs will sit out about a week after tweaking his ankle last weekend.

Shabazz Napier Scores 16 Points Off Bench

Brooklyn Nets point guard Shabazz Napier is already turning into a strong scoring option off the Brooklyn bench.

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Held To Four Points

Brooklyn Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson has now played two games since returning from a groin injury and while he hasn't put up huge scoring numbers, his presence has helped the Nets out.

Jarrett Allen Held To Seven Points

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen scored seven points on 3-for-6 shooting in Friday's loss to the Pelicans.

I've given mostly the same response--that you can't really make those decisions without context and 3 games is really […]

Brooklyn Nets forward Rodions Kurucs (ankle) appears to be fine after suffering a sprained ankle during Saturday's contest. Kurucs was helped off the court during Saturday's loss to the Pacers.

Jarrett Allen Struggles Against Pacers

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen scored eight points on 4-for-7 shooting in Saturday's loss to the Indiana Pacers.

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Allen Crabbe (ankle) is probable for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. There haven't been any reports about Crabbe practicing, so this is surprising news.
