Kyrie Irving is suspended and Ben Simmons is hurt. Maybe #Nets think Ime Udoka can buy them time, but it’s perfectly reasonable to think this era in Brooklyn is already beginning to end. I didn’t think it would last much longer. – 7:58 PM

Final: Nets fall to the Bulls 108-99. Jacque Vaughn’s interim magic against the Bulls comes to an end. Does he coach Friday in DC? Kevin Durant had 32 in the loss. Kyrie Irving had just four. Nets hit the road with no Ben Simmons return in sight. – 9:56 PM

More on this storyline
Amid the suspension, the Nets are in freefall. They have already lost six of their first eight games to start the season. Besides Irving, Ben Simmons is out with knee soreness and the Nets are still working through the final stages of vetting the hiring of suspended Celtics coach, Ime Udoka, sources said. -via ESPN / November 4, 2022
Jake Fischer on Ben Simmons: I don’t think he’s got any real trade value. I was talking to the team who has designs to rebuild Monday night when I was at Barclays Center. And like I asked that question, and I was told pretty point blank like that they would have been interested in him before the season started and 7-8 games later now that interest has dissipated. -via Spotify / November 4, 2022
The Brooklyn Nets will be without Ben Simmons for at least their next two games, according to interim head coach Jacque Vaughn. Vaughn said at Nets practice Thursday that Simmons will not travel with the team for matchups against the Washington Wizards and Charlotte Hornets this weekend as he deals with soreness and swelling in his left knee. The knee ailment forced Simmons to miss Brooklyn’s last two games. Despite still recovering from offseason back surgery, the three-time All-Star had not missed a game prior to Monday. Vaughn was non-committal on whether Simmons would travel with Brooklyn for their game against the Dallas Mavericks next Monday. The interim head coach said the 26-year-old has not been practicing. “Ben is doing more so treatment than anything, trying to get that swelling down,” Vaughn said. -via Clutch Points / November 3, 2022
