He may be light on NBA experience, but he’s sure making the most of the playing time he’s getting now. 

“It’s my secret,” he said cheekily before the Nets lost to the Jazz in crushing fashion.

Make no mistake, the decimated Nets played hard throughout a 112-111 overtime loss to the equally shorthanded Jazz before 18,175 at the Delta Center on Sunday

SALT LAKE CITY — The Nets seemingly have erred on the side of caution when it comes to injured Cam Johnson and D’Angelo Russell. Predictably, both will remain sidelined Sunday when the Nets play the Jazz, as will Cam Thomas. Johnson will miss a fifth consecutive game with a right ankle sprain suffered in the...

The Nets are on the longest road trip of their season.

Jordi Fernandez has known Nuggets coach Michael Malone since their days in Cleveland, and he spent six seasons as an assistant under him in Denver.

The shorthanded Nets already brought a losing streak into their most daunting road trip of the season. Their slump promises to get a little longer. 

Day’Ron Sharpe isn’t just rounding into shape after his earlier injury.

In the NBA, things don’t change quickly. They change at warp speed. That could be good new for Nets fans if they're rebuild goes well.

With the trade deadline a month away, it probably shouldn’t be a shock that Jordi Fernandez’s current team and his former team are talking.

The Nets (13-23) have dropped five of their past six and 10 of 13. They have the seventh-worst record in the NBA, a half-game better than the Trail Blazers.

Ben Simmons and D’Angelo Russell starred together at Montverde Academy for two years, going 45-2 with a couple of national championships.

Cam Johnson, the Nets’ most consistent player all season, got hurt on the second-to-last play of their 113-110 win in Milwaukee.

Jordi Fernandez is coaching to win.

Nets general manager Sean Marks craves nothing more than flexibility — the ability to pivot when needed and pounce when necessary.

The Raptors were on the longest losing skid in the NBA. Then the Nets showed them how losing is done.

D’Angelo Russell has come full circle, traded from the Lakers to the Nets for a second time. But this time not as a hotshot prospect but a mature leader.

After being forced out of Sunday’s loss with left hip soreness, Cam Johnson practiced fully and will be available Wednesday in Toronto.

D’Angelo Russell is back for a Brooklyn encore. With him on the floor, the Nets will have a different speed. A different style. Maybe even different starters.
