The Nets offense was always going to be at its best with Ben Simmons surrounded by four shooters.
We’ve rarely seen that thus far with Harris and Curry out. We should get an extended look tonight with both available. – 7:50 PM

Edmond Sumner was drafted by the Pacers and after overcoming multiple injuries, the team had high hopes for him.

Steve Nash on whether the latest Kyrie Irving situation is a distraction to the #Nets: “I don’t think our group is overly effected by the situation. We’ve had so many situations over the last two and a half years that I think we’ve kind of built an immunity to it.” #NBA5:57 PM

Steve Nash when asked if the Kyrie situation is a distraction:
“I don’t think our group is overly effected by the situation. We’ve had so many situations over the last two and a half years that I think we’ve kind of built an immunity to it.”
Said Kyrie will address the matter. – 5:56 PM

Asked if the Kyrie Irving situation has been a distraction, Steve Nash said the team has dealt with so much the past few years he feels like there’s an “immunity” to letting things like this become an issue. – 5:54 PM

I’m late catching up on this Kyrie nonsense and wish I hadn’t. Not sure the mental health card will work here, but everyone who likes attending his pity parties believe that’s a catch all for everything he says and does that’s wrong, dumb, selfish, dishonest and distracting. – 4:42 PM

Kyrie Irving has earned the label of being anti-semitic after tweeting & posting a link for a film that reportedly spreads conspiracy theories about Jews.
The Brooklyn Nets decided to respond to the accusations 🗣️

Arrogant defensive performance from the Wizards last night. Tons of KYP errors, especially on Buddy Hield. Lots of botched switches and mistimed sink-and-recovers. Their defensive personnel isn’t ideal but they should be better than THAT.
And Johnny Davis’ minutes … yikes – 2:10 PM
Kyrie Irving @KyrieIrving
I am an OMNIST and I meant no disrespect to anyone’s religious beliefs. The “Anti-Semitic” label that is being pushed on me is not justified and does not reflect the reality or truth I live in everyday. I embrace and want to learn from all walks of life and religions.

Pacers will be without Myles Turner (left ankle injury management) and Aaron Nesmith (sore right foot) tonight in Brooklyn. Of note, this is not the same foot Nesmith is dealing with plantar fascia.
