Brooklyn Nets News and Rumors - NBA

Haywood Highsmith - Remains out indefinitely Highsmith (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Magic.

Impact Highsmith has yet to make his season debut as he recovers from right knee surgery he underwent in August. There remains no clear timetable for the 29-year-old forward's return to action, so he should be considered week-to-week until the Nets offer an update on his progress.

Ben Saraf - Not availbale vs. Orlando Saraf has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Magic due to left knee soreness.

Impact Saraf was recalled from the G League by the Nets on Monday, but the rookie first-rounder will not be available for Wednesday's home tilt. He'll look to progress enough in his recovery to be available for Friday's game against the Clippers. He's bounced back and forth between the G League and NBA this season, and in 12 games (five starts) with Brooklyn he is averaging 5.4 points, 2.8 assists, 1.6 rebounds and 0.7 steals over 16.9 minutes per game.

Terance Mann - Full stat line Sunday Mann provided six points (2-5 FG, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals in 26 minutes during Sunday's 127-115 win over the Nuggets.

Impact Mann filled up the box score Sunday, but he still hasn't scored at least 15 points since the Nov. 5 win in Indiana. The 29-year-old swingman continues to start for the Nets, though he has averaged a quiet 5.6 points, 4.1 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 0.9 blocks and 0.7 steals in 26.8 minutes per game over his last seven outings.

Noah Clowney - Scores efficient 22 points in win Clowney provided 22 points (6-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block over 29 minutes during Sunday's 127-115 victory over the Nuggets.

Impact Clowney submitted his first 20-point effort since the Dec. 4 loss to the Jazz. It's been a bumpy ride in 2025-26 for the 2023 first-rounder, who's hurting nine-category fantasy rosters significantly with his lack of efficiency. Clowney has averaged 12.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 blocks and 0.9 steals in his last 11 games, but he's shooting only 35.8 percent from the field during this span.

Day'Ron Sharpe - Another strong showing as starter Sharpe notched 17 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-8 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 127-115 win over the Nuggets.

Impact Sharpe made his second straight start, providing a full stat line to go with an efficient 17 points. The 2021 first-rounder is serving as Brooklyn's temporary starter at center while Nic Claxton tends to a personal matter, and Sharpe has flourished in his limited chances with the first unit since last season. Dating back to 2024-25, Sharpe has averaged 16.3 points, 11.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.5 blocks in 30.9 minutes per tilt over four games as a starter.

Impact Porter will return from a two-game absence due to illness. The 27-year-old forward was initially listed as probable for Sunday's contest.
