Brooklyn Nets News, Rumors, Updates - National Basketball Association

Questionable versus Storm Griner (rib) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against Seattle.

Impact Griner has already battled a few injuries this season. She missed two games leading up to the 83-82 loss to Portland on Monday. However, after suiting up for that contest, the 35-year-old was subsequently ruled out for Wednesday's meeting with the Storm because of a rib injury. With Olivia Nelson-Ododa (ankle) already sidelined, Aneesah Morrow and Raegan Beers might handle most of the work in the middle for the rematch with Seattle if Griner also can't get on the floor.

Heating up off bench Leger-Walker had 16 points (6-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 80-78 win over Seattle.

Impact The rookie guard is quickly becoming a key piece off the Sun's bench, scoring in double digits in three consecutive games. For the year, Leger-Walker has averaged 8.0 points, 2.3 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 21.2 minutes per tilt over six games but is shooting an inefficient 38.6 percent from the floor.

Season-best showing in win Beers produced 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 80-78 victory over the Storm.

Impact With Brittney Griner (ribs) and Olivia Nelson-Ododa (ankle) unavailable, Beers stepped up with season highs across the board for her best showing of the campaign so far. Through five appearances, the rookie center has averaged 5.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 15.0 minutes per game.

Turns in dud in start Morrow registered two points (1-1 FG) and three rebounds over seven minutes during Wednesday's 80-78 victory over Seattle.

Impact The Sun had four players touch double digits in scoring, so it seems like they took a hot-hand approach. Morrow, who had scored at least 10 points in her prior five appearances to begin the year, has averaged 12.0 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 24.5 minutes per game this season.

Poor effort Wednesday Van Lith finished with zero points (0-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one assist across 12 minutes during Wednesday's 80-78 win over the Storm.

Impact Connecticut had four players hit double figures in scoring, so it looks like they took a hot-hand approach. Despite Wednesday's dud, the second-year guard has still averaged 9.3 points, 2.8 assists, 1.0 rebounds and 1.2 three-pointers in 19.2 minutes per contest through six games this season (three starts).

Solid effort in win over Storm Angloma finished with 15 points (7-12 FG, 1-4 FT), seven rebounds, three steals and one block across 29 minutes in Wednesday's 80-78 win over Seattle.

Impact Angloma played sparingly in her two appearances leading up to Wednesday's contest. However, not only did the rookie lead the Connecticut bench in minutes against Seattle, she had a well-rounded performance to show for it. With Brittney Griner (ribs) and Olivia Nelson-Ododa (ankle) unavailable, there were extra minutes up for grabs. If both players remain out for Friday's rematch with the Storm, Angloma could continue to benefit.

Starting Wednesday Kneepkens will start Wednesday versus the Storm.

Impact This will be Kneepkens second start of the season, and she'll be joined in the first unit by Hailey Van Lith, Diamond Miller, Aaliyah Edwards and Aneesah Morrow. In Kneepkens' previous start this season, she finished with three points, three rebounds, one assist and two turnovers across 18 minutes.

Starting versus Seattle Morrow will start in Wednesday's game versus the Storm.

Impact Morrow will make her first start since the 106-75 loss to the Liberty to begin the 2026 campaign. She finished with 15 points, six rebounds and one steal in that contest, although she committed a season-high five turnovers. With Connecticut down Brittney Griner (ribs) and Olivia Nelson-Ododa (ankle), there will be a few extra shots up for grabs, meaning Morrow could be more involved offensively.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Headed to bench Burke will come off the bench for Wednesday's game versus the Storm.

Impact Burke has been struggling as a starter this season, converting 27.3 percent of her shot attempts and 16.7 percent of her three-point attempts. Perhaps a move to the second unit will help her get going.

Ruled out for Wednesday Griner won't play Wednesday versus the Storm due to a right rib sprain.

Impact Griner was a late addition to the injury report, and the severity of her rib injury is currently unclear. For now, she can be considered questionable for Friday's rematch with the Storm. With Olivia Nelson-Ododa (ankle) also unavailable, Raegan Beers could be headed for heavy minutes.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Remains out for Wednesday Nelson-Ododa (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Storm.

Impact Nelson-Ododa will miss a third consecutive contest due to a right ankle injury, and her next chance to play will come in Friday's rematch against Seattle. With the 25-year-old center sidelined, Aneesah Morrow, Kennedy Burke and Aaliyah Edwards are candidates for increased playing time.

Impact Although Burke was held scoreless for the first time this year, she led the first unit in boards Monday. She's been fairly productive on both ends of the floor with averages of 6.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks 26.8 minutes per tilt through five games this season, but Burke is shooting a paltry 27.3 percent from the field as well.

Solid performance in start Van Lith finished Monday's 83-82 loss to the Fire with 12 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, three assists and one block across 25 minutes.

Impact The Sun have been mixing and matching their starting backcourt while Leila Lacan fulfills her overseas obligations, deploying Van Lith in the first unit in back-to-back games. Van Lith has scored in double digits in both of her starts, and she's averaged 11.2 points, 3.2 assists, 1.2 rebounds and 1.4 three-pointers in 20.6 minutes per tilt through five games this season while shooting a scorching 53.8 percent from deep.

Tallies four swipes Monday Rivers contributed nine points (4-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six assists, four steals and three rebounds across 28 minutes during Monday's 83-82 loss to the Fire.

Impact Rivers didn't quite reach double figures in scoring but made an impact in multiple facets, leading all players with six assists and four steals. After starting the first three games of the season, the guard has shifted into a reserve role over the past two contests and been far more effective. Rivers is averaging 5.0 points, 4.3 assists and 1.3 rebounds while shooting 20.0 percent from the field as a starter, compared to 11.5 points, 6.5 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 3.0 steals on 45.0 percent from the field off the bench.

Efficient scoring in loss Edwards finished with 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, two steals and one block over 17 minutes in Monday's 83-82 loss to the Fire.

Impact Edwards was one of four Sun players to score in double figures, though she was the most efficient of the group with just one miss from the field. After missing the first three games of the regular season due to a left thigh injury, the 23-year-old has started each of the past two contests but has remained under a minutes restriction, playing exactly 17 minutes in both appearances. Positioned as one of the top forward options on the roster, Edwards' production should increase as she's eased off the restriction moving forward.

Impact Griner returned from a two-game absence due to a left foot injury and immediately got back to work, leading her team in scoring during a narrow defeat. The veteran center, who has built a reputation as a feared shot-blocker, also recorded her first two blocks of the campaign after being held without a rejection in her first two appearances. Through three games in her first season with Connecticut, Griner is averaging 15.0 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 27.3 minutes per contest.

Another double-double in defeat Morrow amassed 12 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block across 34 minutes in Monday's 83-82 loss to the Fire.

Impact Morrow delivered an efficient performance from inside the arc and was one of five Connecticut players to score in double figures, albeit in a losing effort. The second-year forward also led all players in rebounds, securing her fourth straight double-double across five regular-season games. While she has come off the bench in each of the last four outings, Morrow has yet to play fewer than 24 minutes in a game this season. Additionally, she has recorded at least one steal in all five games thus far.
