The Brooklyn Nets two most recent waived playoffs both signed with the Milwaukee Bucks for the remainder of the 2021-22 season.
For the first time this year though, DeAndre’ Bembry and Jevon Carter will be sitting on the opposing sideline. At least the Nets got Dragic. Imagine what would’ve happened if he would’ve signed with Milwaukee too. That’s how Brooklyn’s luck has gone this year but hopefully that won’t be the case. Bembry averaged 5.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 19.8 minutes in the 48 games (20 starts) that he played in for the Nets. The 27-year-old shot 56.8% from the floor and 41.7% from three. Carter averaged 3.6 points, one assist, and 12 minutes in the 46 games that he played in for the Nets. He shot 33.3% from the field and 33.1% from the 3-point line. Carter will be active for the matchup and so will Bembry after being previously listed as day-to-day with a thumb injury.
Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets picked up a big road win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night in Wisconsin.
Before missing the playoffs for two straight seasons, they had made the NBA Finals five times in a row. * STEPH AND THE WARRIORS ARE ON FIRE: The Golden State Warriors have not made the playoffs in two seasons, but that appears likely to change this season. They have been one of the best teams in the entire NBA, and Steph Curry is having an MVP-caliber year.
Kyrie Irving said he can see "light at the end of the tunnel" in regard to the possibility New York City's vaccination mandate ends sometime soon.
So my respect level went to a whole new one for him, and I'm just grateful that he did that, and he really took one for the team. But it definitely felt like there was a weight lifted just being back here, being healthy, getting a win and knowing that there's a possibility we could see them down the line again ... there was nothing personal about this game, just about the team." On top of Irving's status, what makes the Nets so hopeful with just 21 regular-season games left to play is that star forward Kevin Durant is expected to return this week from a sprained left MCL after missing 1½ months. "I'm glad that things are kind of settling down and there's light at the end of the tunnel here," Irving said. "I'm following it as much as you guys are," Irving said. "But like I said, I'm not the only one.
With Kevin Durant's return looming and hopefully Ben Simmons shortly thereafter, Brooklyn came away with a huge win that hopefully will serve as a turning ...
The 43 points are the most the Nets have tallied in any quarter this season (previous high: 41 points which took place second quarter of the Wizards game on January 19 in Washington. Irving won’t able to play in either of the Raptors games this week. “When it came under six minutes, it was about who was under the best condition, whose going to get up and down the floor, keep that pace, and we just didn’t want to slow down our offense.” Out of a quick 8-0 run that included a friendly bounce for a Curry corner triple, the Nets took a 72-70 lead with 8:12 left. From that point on, we called a timeout, came back out, and all of us just swinging the basketball,” Irving said. By the time the halftime buzzer sounded and the Nets’ highest-scoring quarter of the season was in the books (43 points), Brooklyn held a three-point lead (96-93) heading into the fourth. Milwaukee picked a part Brooklyn’s lack of floor spacing while locking down Irving and Curry on the defensive end. Aldridge led the bench with 11 points in 19 minutes of action. It definitely felt like there was a weight lifted just being back here being healthy, getting a win, and knowing that there’s a possibility of seeing them down the line again.” After a game that saw run and after run, the Nets used an 11-4 run to take a two-point lead into the final minute, which took nearly a half hour! After a pair of free throws from Antetokounmpo and LaMarcus Aldridge, the Greek Freak missed a left-wing three at the buzzer and the game ended. Instead of missing the second free throw, the All-Star went on to nail both to make it a one-point game with 7.7 on the game clock.
Kevin Durant went through a second high-intensity workout Saturday morning in Milwaukee and if he comes out of that healthy, could only need one more before ...

James Johnson spoke with the media on Wednesday and alluded to what's to come when Ben Simmons makes his Brooklyn Nets debut.
The Nets have gone through a lot over the past few months and it feels like there might be light at the end of the tunnel after all. Simmons didn’t play in a game for Philadelphia this year and he cited that his mental health was at the core of that decision. It’s been over two weeks since the Nets-Sixers trade took place and there’s a lot of anticipation surrounding Ben Simmons’ season debut and James Johnson added to that hype on Wednesday.
The Milwaukee Bucks committed 15 turnovers, allowing 27 points off those turnovers and missed 13 free throws in their 126-123 loss to the Brooklyn Nets.
Nets coach Steve Nash told reporters the development with Simmons' back is "not a long-term thing."

Brooklyn, who acquired Simmons in a blockbuster deal with the 76ers for James Harden on deadline day, remains without a set timetable for the 25-year-old to ...
Nets fans hoping for a bit of good news should find solace, however, in Nash’s update on superstar Kevin Durant, who last played on Jan. 15. Brooklyn coach Steve Nash declined to address Simmons’s mental health when asked for an update earlier this week, but did reveal that the young star has yet to participate in any of the “high-intensity workouts” needed to determine his progress. Charania noted that it's uncertain if he’ll be ready for what would likely be a very interesting “homecoming” in front of a rabid Philadelphia crowd.

However, Shams Charania reports Simmons is dealing with back soreness and there is no timetable for his return. All eyes are on the Philadelphia 76ers and the Brooklyn Nets after the teams’ Feb. 10 trade that sent future Hall of Famer James Harden to the Sixers and Ben Simmons to the Nets. The deal ended the Simmons saga in Philadelphia, allowing both sides to start anew. All eyes will continue to be on Simmons as he continues a new chapter in his career, but it is peculiar that the talk about Simmons and his season debut continues to be centered on the matchup with the Sixers in Philadelphia in March.
