What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
A thought: With Jacque Vaughn getting the full-time gig, it opens up a spot on the Nets’ coaching staff. Does someone come in/get bumped up to address one of the team’s current on-court issues? – 12:53 PM

No Ime Udoka in Brooklyn. Job goes to Jacque Vaughn, who so far has proven both times he’s had it that he could be the right man for it. – 12:25 PM

Nice few days for former Jazz point guards.
Jacque Vaughn named head coach of the Nets and UC Davis coach Jim Les beats Cal, 75-65.
I mention this mostly because they were two of the best guys I covered, back in the day, and it’s great to see them have success. – 12:21 PM

Great day for Jacque Vaughn, who had been passed over for the Nets job the first time for Steve Nash. The Nets have clearly responded to JV. Now he gets an opportunity to win big. – 12:17 PM

More on this storyline

 

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
Vaughn also provided an update on Seth Curry, noting the guard will play in one game of Brooklyn’s back-to-back this weekend. “Seth is in a boat where he’ll play one of the two games in this back-to-back,” Vaughn said. “Still haven’t decided which one it’s gonna be. We’ll probably know that a little later on today.” -via Clutch Points / November 3, 2022
