Brooklyn aims to break its five-game slide when the Brooklyn Nets take on Chicago. The teams meet Friday for the second time this season.

The air inside the Smoothie King Center hasn’t been light lately. When you are sitting on a 9-33 record, every possession feels heavier, and every fourth-quarter lead feels fragile.

The Brooklyn Nets stole away Day’Ron Sharpe on a $12.5 million contract last summer. It’s time to do it again.

During his time suiting up for the Americans, Leibowitz wore only jersey Nos. 40 and 20 and put up 11.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game.

Depending on what you were rooting for, you got exactly what you wanted in this game. Unless you wanted a loss for the Mavericks.

Brooklyn would have needed to part with a hefty contract to even make a deal for Young work, like that of Porter or starting center Nic Claxton or Terance Mann. It’s easy to see why the Nets were more appealing to Young than he was to them.

Trey Murphy III had a game-high 34 points and Saddiq Bey made a pair of big plays in the final minute to lift the New Orleans Pelicans past the visiting Brooklyn Nets 116-113 Wednesday night.

The Nets lost at the Pelicans 116-113 on Wednesday despite having as much as a 12-point lead due to their ability to prevent New Orleans from getting offensive rebounds and second-chance points. Forward Michael Porter Jr.
