Proper recognition for the achievements of Lusia “Lucy” Harris has been a long time coming, but it happened emphatically tonight at the Academy Awards.

Seth Curry is going to play through the pain, but the Nets can’t afford for him to get hurt.
New for ⁦@NYDNSports⁩: A look at the shooters on Brooklyn’s roster not named Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving shows just how important a healthy Curry is. nydailynews.com/sports/basketb…7:26 PM
Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Nets starters vs. Charlotte: Irving, Curry, Durant, Brown and Drummond.
This starting five is 3-1 this season, including last night’s 110-95 road victory in Miami. – 7:03 PM
Dave Early @DavidEarly
“We just gotta do the best we can and manage his health the rest of the way and hopefully he can maintain a level of comfort playing through some discomfort…. it’s not where it’s debilitating.”

Dave Early @DavidEarly
Steve Nash says the team doesn’t have the luxury to rest Seth Curry when it might be ideal to. They’ll need to manage his health moving forwards given the ongoing ankle issue. – 5:50 PM

Nets updates to the Status Report for tonight’s game vs. Charlotte:
Curry (left ankle sprain) – AVAILABLE
Dragic (left knee soreness) – AVAILABLE – 5:45 PM
Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Nets update Seth Curry and Goran Dragić to available. – 5:41 PM
Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Nets status report for tonight’s game. LaMarcus Aldridge isn’t on it and appears available to play: Dragic (left knee soreness) – PROBABLE
Curry (left ankle sprain) – QUESTIONABLE
Harris (left ankle surgery) – OUT
Simmons (return to competition reconditioning/back soreness) – OUT – 1:38 PM
Brian Mahoney @briancmahoney
First time this season, the Nets’ notes for a home game don’t have Kyrie Irving listed here.
STATUS UPDATES: Goran Dragić (left knee soreness) is PROBABLE. Seth Curry (left ankle sprain) is QUESTIONABLE. Joe Harris (left ankle surgery) and Ben Simmons (back soreness) are OUT. – 12:44 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Goran Dragic is probable and Seth Curry is questionable for tonight’s game against the Hornets. This is particularly encouraging for Dragic* because it’s the second game of a back to back. Curry said his ankle situation will linger for the rest of the season. – 12:40 PM

With San Francisco’s Chase Center hosting the Sweet 16, Steph Curry made an appearance at his home arena to watch March Madness unfold. warriorswire.usatoday.com/2022/03/24/ste…1:00 AM

FINAL: Nets 110, Heat 92
Kevin Durant (23 PTS, 5 ASTS), Seth Curry (17 PTS, 5 3PM) and the Nets defeat the first seeded Miami Heat. Five players for Brooklyn notched double-digits in scoring, but it was the team’s dominant second quarter that set the tone for the entire game. – 10:27 PM
Ajayi Browne @ajayibrowne
End of 3rd QTR: Nets 96, Heat 68
Kevin Durant (23 PTS, 5 ASTS), Seth Curry (17 PTS, 5 3PM) and the Nets are SPANKING the Heat. It’s like every time you blink Brooklyn forces a turnover and in all they have forced 16 turnovers. The Nets have 21 assists in all right now too. – 10:02 PM
Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Service went out. In short, Nets are up 94-57. Curry and Claxton continue to provide good support to Irving and Durant. Curry hitting 3s you’d expect a member of that family to hit. – 9:48 PM
Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Seth Curry with a 3 from his brother’s range after another Nic Claxton dunk. Nets up 91-57. – 9:48 PM
Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Nash has staggered Dragic today with Irving and Durant. In there now with Durant, Claxton, Brown and Curry. Nets up 17. – 9:03 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
And it opens with a Butler turnover and a Curry 3. – 8:12 PM
Doug Smith @SmithRaps
Precious Achiuwa out here hitting above the break 3s like he’s Steph Curry – 8:04 PM

Among the biggest supporters of The Queen of Basketball are two towering executive producers — Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal and Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors. Shaq has declared Lucy Harris to be the GOAT, and an important role model especially for women basketball players. -via Deadline / March 27, 2022
Shaquille O’Neal, who became a partial owner of the Sacramento Kings in 2013, announced on social media Wednesday that he has officially sold his interest in the NBA club. O’Neal, 49, who retired from the NBA in 2011 and was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2016, posted on his official Twitter page that in order to pursue a business interest in the sports gambling world, he had to leave the Kings. “As a result of a new business endeavor, I was required by NBA rules to sell my interest in the Sacramento Kings. I want to thank the fans, the city of Sacramento, Vivek Ranadive and the entire Kings organization for our great partnership. I loved being an owner of such a forward thinking organization and I hope to be back someday,” O’Neal tweeted. “I was fortunate to have Arctos help me with this transaction. I’m sure they will be a great partner for Vivek, the Kings and the NBA going forward. -via ESPN / January 13, 2022
