IR-ON MAN, IR-ON MAN! TO-NY STARK, TO-NY STARK! Dinwiddie is in the midst of the best season of his career. At the time, he’s averaging 21.2 points and 6.5 assists per game. He’s drawing All-Star consideration. And he has become a leader on a team dealing with superstar guard Kyrie Irving‘s shoulder injury. But this? […]

Brooklyn Nets center DeAndre Jordan strongly disputed reports that linked coach Kenny Atkinson’s departure to the high-profile players — namely Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant — signed by the team last summer. “Yeah, I’m close to Kyrie, but Wilson [Chandler] is a new player, Garrett Temple’s a new player,” Jordan said Sunday. “We’re all new […]

“I thought [Nets coach Kenny Atkinson] was going to pull [me], too,” LeVert said. “[But] he put me back in there, so I just made one more run at it.” Did he ever. By the time the dust had settled, not only had the Nets erased that deficit, LeVert — who had scored 14 points […]

This was the beauty of Durant’s and Irving’s pledge to sign with Brooklyn. While the Nets will go only as far as Durant takes them, they’d get a full season to watch Irving and their young core get acclimated.

NEW YORK — In a night of spectacular shooting that featured there’s-no-way-that-goes-in floaters and disrespectfully deep 3-pointers that accumulated into an improbable, awesome 54-point performance Friday, it was Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving‘s first-half finale that dropped jaws. Arena security guards couldn’t believe it. Reporters on press row couldn’t help but let out an […]

HE’D REHEARSED THIS moment in his mind thousands of times. Pop off the bench like you’re sitting on a spring. Tear off your warm-ups, toss them aside and trot to the scorer’s table. Lean against it? Sit on the floor? Kneel? Pull the strings on your shorts tight and tuck in your jersey. Adjust your […]

Atlanta Hawks: Trae Young (right thigh) missed Wednesday’s game and is listed as questionable for Friday’s game against Oklahoma City. He made it through parts of Thursday’s practice, which is an encouraging sign that he might be available against the Thunder, but if Young can’t go, it will force the Hawks to lean heavily on […]

Nets coach Kenny Atkinson said that Irving first presented with the hamstring symptoms on Sunday. He underwent treatment to try to loosen the hamstring, Atkinson said. When Irving was still tight on Monday, the Nets quickly pulled him from the lineup. “I don’t think you want tightness to go to a strain,” Atkinson said. “With […]
