Still surreal hearing Kyrie Irving’s name announced at Barclays Center after months of him not being eligible to play here. – 7:38 PM

Greetings from Barclays. Nets-Pistons tip shortly. Nets looking to get back in the win column. Curious if we see LaMarcus Aldridge play tonight. Updates to come. – 7:35 PM

“We can be devastating in transition.”
Steve Nash talks about how the #Nets can sometimes look when they play with continuity on defensive then get out and run. pic.twitter.com/QMheFMs8kT6:52 PM

Dave Early @DavidEarly
“But this is the nature of the NBA… If you’re not playing through something, that’s almost more unique than to carry an injury w/ you this time of year.”
-Steve Nash was asked if Seth Curry will have to manage his ankle injury until the off season or even need procedure. pic.twitter.com/nFUKN7Pndt6:50 PM

Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
On Grant missing the rest of the season, Casey said it didn’t make sense to try to rush him back. Creates opportunity for Marvin Bagley III and Braxton Key – 6:17 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Casey on Jerami Grant being out for season: “It’s a huge loss. He strained the calf. There wasn’t any use in trying to rush him back. It’s an opportunity to look at Braxton and experiment with lineups.” – 6:17 PM
Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Dwayne Casey jokes he screwed Bruce Brown up in Detroit by only playing him as a point guard under him. Credits Brown for adapting his game each year to help the Nets win. – 6:16 PM

Casey: “Cade Cunningham should be Rookie of the Year.” – 6:13 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Casey: “Cade Cunningham should be Rookie of the Year.” – 6:12 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Casey on how Cade’s changed the franchise: “It gave us a star, a guy that has ‘it.’ We had Blake a few years ago when he was healthy. He had that star power and we made the playoffs the first year he was there. Cade gives us that hub, so to speak. It was good for us to get him.” – 6:11 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Casey said he’s interested to see how Stewart and Bagley do against a smaller lineup in Brooklyn. Asked him about Saddiq not starting at 4 with Jerami out, said they already feel comfortable with Saddiq at the 4 and want to work out the two bigs. – 6:10 PM
Brian Lewis @NYPost_Lewis
Steve Nash said Ben Simmons hasn’t been able to do any more over the past few days than he had been prior. #Nets6:09 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Dwane Casey on if Saddiq Bey could use a break after playing nonstop for two years: “There is a time that guys have to recoup and recover. But it’s hard to tell a second-year player to take it easy. That’s not his personality, and it’s not mine either, but it makes sense.” – 6:09 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Asked Dwane Casey about Saddiq Bey playing nonstop, essentially, over last two years, including USA and Summer League: “Just as much as anything, it’s his work. It’s hard to tell a young man not to work. He hasn’t taken a break … there is a time that guys have to recover.” – 6:08 PM

Isaiah Stewart recorded his 1,000th career rebound last game vs. NYK, becoming the 2nd-youngest in team history to reach the milestone. Stewart (20 yrs, 309 days) & Andre Drummond (20 yrs, 167 days) are the only Pistons with 1,000 rebounds by age 20. #Pistons

“Casey wants about 20 to 25 percent of @Isaiah Stewart and @Marvin Bagley‘s summer concentration to be on perimeter shooting, the rest on duties more conventionally associated with big men.”
