Noah Clowney Good to Go Against Atlanta
Brooklyn Nets forward/center Noah Clowney (illness) is available for Saturday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks, according to Brian Lewis of the New York Post. Clowney also dealt with right knee soreness after leaving Wednesday's win over Charlotte early, but he will avoid an absence. The 22-year-old is averaging 5.6 points and 4.4 rebounds in 21.0 minutes off the bench while shooting 40.0% from the field and 5-for-18 from deep. Danny Wolf gave Brooklyn quality minutes Wednesday, so Clowney may have a little more competition for frontcourt work if his shot continues to lag.

Noah Clowney Exits with Right-Knee Soreness
Brooklyn Nets forward/center Noah Clowney (knee) was ruled out for the rest of Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets with right knee soreness. Clowney played 17 minutes in the first half before exiting. The 22-year-old has struggled to build on last season's 12.3 points per game, averaging 5.4 points and 4.9 rebounds in 21.6 minutes off the bench this year while shooting 37.9% from the field. If Clowney misses additional time, Moritz Wagner and Danny Wolf could pick up more frontcourt minutes, with Wagner already averaging 11.0 points in a reserve role.

Noah Clowney Good to Go Friday
Brooklyn Nets forward/center Noah Clowney (illness) is available for Friday's NBA Cup matchup against the Detroit Pistons, according to the New York Post's Brian Lewis. The 22-year-old has come off the bench in all four games this season, averaging 6.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 0.8 blocks in 21.5 minutes. Clowney was barely involved offensively Tuesday against Boston, attempting one shot in 24 minutes while finishing with three points and two blocks. His availability keeps Brooklyn's frontcourt rotation intact, but Clowney will need more touches to become a reliable fantasy option.

Day'Ron Sharpe Tossed in Fourth Quarter
Brooklyn Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe was ejected in the fourth quarter of Saturday's 125-121 loss to Cleveland after picking up his second Flagrant 1 foul of the game. Both came on closeouts against James Harden three-point attempts, with the second also serving as Sharpe's sixth personal foul. The 24-year-old finished with seven points, eight rebounds, one assist, and one steal on 3-for-10 shooting in 23 minutes. Sharpe has collected eight boards in each of his first two games, but early foul trouble is already cutting into his opportunity. He now carries two flagrant points for the regular season.

Day'Ron Sharpe Fills Stat Sheet in Preseason Opener
Brooklyn Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe recorded eight points, seven rebounds, three assists, and two blocks in 18 minutes during Tuesday's 124-90 preseason win over the Charlotte Hornets. He shot 4-for-9 from the field in his first game back after season-ending surgery on his left thumb. With Nicolas Claxton now in Chicago, Sharpe enters the season as Brooklyn's starting center after averaging career highs of 8.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 18.7 minutes last year. A larger workload gives the 24-year-old a chance to become a useful source of rebounds while his passing adds some upside at the position.

Day'Ron Sharpe Ready for Increased Workload This Season
Brooklyn Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe is preparing for a larger workload in 2026-27. With center Nic Claxton traded to the Chicago Bulls this offseason, Sharpe is expected to start this season and is ready for the challenge. "Even if it's double the minutes, I'll learn to pace myself during the game, take the right opportunities [to avoid] getting in foul trouble, and save myself for later in the game. But I'm just going to play hard until the wheels fall off. That's all I can do." In 67 games last season, Sharpe averaged 8.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in just 18 minutes per game. With a solid workload expected for the sixth-year center, Sharpe is an exciting late-round flyer in fantasy drafts this season.

Grant Nelson Returns to Brooklyn on a Two-Way Deal
The Brooklyn Nets agreed to a two-way deal with forward/center Grant Nelson, agent Max Wiepking told Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. The 24-year-old fills Brooklyn's final two-way slot alongside Chaney Johnson and Tyler Bilodeau after spending last season between Long Island and Brooklyn. Nelson (knee) had his season cut short by patellar tendinitis after a February 10-day call-up in which he totaled 17 points, six rebounds, and five assists across four games. He earned that look by averaging 11.1 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 19.3 minutes for Long Island while shooting 54.9 percent from the field. With Julius Randle, Day'Ron Sharpe, Moritz Wagner, Danny Wolf, and Noah Clowney in the frontcourt mix, Nelson is more of a developmental big than a fantasy target.

Danny Wolf Tops Nets Scorers in Loss to Atlanta
Brooklyn Nets forward/center Danny Wolf scored 20 points on 9-for-16 shooting in Saturday's 83-76 Summer League loss to the Atlanta Hawks, chipping in five rebounds, one assist, and one steal over 26 minutes. The second-year big went 0-for-2 from deep but stayed efficient inside and hit both free throws. He opened Las Vegas with a nine-point, eight-rebound debut, so the scoring jump is encouraging. Wolf flashed promise as a rookie, averaging 8.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.2 threes in 20.8 minutes, and good health has him in line for steady frontcourt minutes on a rebuilding Brooklyn team.

Moritz Wagner Moving From Orlando to Brooklyn
Free-agent center Moritz Wagner is signing a two-year, $19 million contract with the Brooklyn Nets, according to Shams Charania. The ESPN insider also noted the contract contains a mutual opt-in option following the first season. The 29-year-old had a statistical down season in his final year with the Orlando Magic. An ACL tear in December of 2024 kept the Germany native from suiting up until mid-January this year. Ultimately, he averaged 6.9 points and 3.2 rebounds on 42.6% shooting in 11.9 minutes per game. Wagner could be in line for more consistent playing time in the upcoming season, with Day'Ron Sharpe as the only other true center currently on Brooklyn's roster.

Day'Ron Sharpe Inks New Deal With Brooklyn
Brooklyn Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe is staying with the franchise, agreeing to a new two-year, $20 million contract, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The Nets front office previously declined Sharpe's $6.25 million team option to secure the longer, more lucrative deal. The 24-year-old set career-best marks in points (8.7), rebounds (6.7), assists (2.3), and steals (1.1), while shooting 60.1% from the field. Sharpe is also in line for a bigger role, with center Nic Claxton heading to Chicago in a previously agreed-upon trade that won't officially be finalized until July 6th.

Nicolas Claxton Traded to Bulls in Three-Team Deal
The Chicago Bulls are adding center Nicolas Claxton in a three-team trade, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. Brooklyn is routing Claxton to Chicago in the same deal that sends Julius Randle from Minnesota to the Nets. The 27-year-old is a mobile, switchable defensive anchor who averaged 11.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, a career-high 3.7 assists, and 1.1 blocks on 57.1 percent shooting last season. His scoring stays modest, but the blocks, rebounding, and strong field-goal percentage carry real fantasy value if he locks down a starting role in Chicago. Claxton's improved passing, which produced two triple-doubles in Brooklyn, adds a sneaky assist source for a center. Just watch where he slots in the Bulls' frontcourt before counting on a full workload.

Julius Randle Heads to Brooklyn in Three-Team Trade
Center/power forward Julius Randle is headed to the Brooklyn Nets as part of a three-team trade, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. Minnesota is sending Randle and the No. 28 pick to Brooklyn while moving down for the Nets' No. 33 selection, a cost-cutting move that could open more frontcourt usage for Naz Reid. The three-time All-Star averaged 21.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 5.0 assists last season, though his playoff production reportedly dipped during a rough second-round series against San Antonio. On a rebuilding Nets team short on established scorers, Randle would step in as a clear focal point, the kind of high-usage role that should keep his counting stats strong. He profiles as a steady fantasy contributor across points, rebounds, and assists, with Brooklyn's volume potentially giving his numbers a higher floor than he had in Minnesota.

E.J. Liddell Agrees to Two-Year Deal with Greek Club Aris
Brooklyn Nets forward/center E.J. Liddell has agreed to a two-year deal with Greek EuroCup club Aris, with only the official announcement pending, Eurohoops reports. The 25-year-old played on an expiring two-way contract last season and was headed for free agency this summer. Liddell appeared in 26 games with five starts for Brooklyn in 2025-26, averaging 5.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 0.9 assists on 48.6 percent shooting, then flashed upside with 18.4 points per game across five April contests. He added 17.5 points and 8.5 rebounds in 26 G League games with Long Island. Aris is spending aggressively under new coach Vassilis Spanoulis to chase the EuroCup title. For dynasty and deep-league managers who stashed Liddell after that April surge, the signing closes the book on his NBA stock for now.
