E.J. Liddell News, Rumors, Updates - Brooklyn Nets

Logs 17 points in season finale Liddell fouled out of Sunday's 136-101 loss to the Raptors after recording 17 points (5-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 27 minutes.

Impact With Nic Claxton (finger) and Noah Clowney (ankle) on the sidelines, the third-year journeyman took on a larger role and finished with a decent line. Liddell is on his third NBA team in three seasons, although he's had the most success with the Nets. Liddell's future with the team depends heavily on what the Nets do in the draft and how they approach the trade market in the offseason

Green makes 11 3-pointers to set Bucks' single-game record in 125-108 win over Nets

AJ Green made 11 3-pointers to set the Milwaukee Bucks’ single-game record and scored a career-high 35 points in a 125-108 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Friday

Booted from Friday's game Liddell was ejected from Friday's game against the Bucks after being assessed a Flagrant 2 foul, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Liddell was tagged with the Flagrant 2 foul early in the fourth quarter for smacking Jericho Sims in the face with the forearm. Liddell will end his night with 13 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3PT, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 32 minutes. Chaney Johnson could see some additional run time the rest of the way due to Liddell's absence.

Career-high 26 points in loss Liddell logged 26 points (10-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist in 37 minutes during Thursday's 123-94 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Liddell started a third consecutive contest for the injury-riddled Nets and made the most of the opportunity. After scoring 21 points in Tuesday's win over Milwaukee, the two-way player erupted for a career-high 26 points against Indiana, matching the game-high mark. He also led Brooklyn with a career high in rebounds, securing his first career double-double. It's unclear if Nic Claxton (finger) and Noah Clowney (ankle) will return this season, so Liddell may continue to operate in an expanded role.

APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE

Scores season-high 21 points Liddell closed Tuesday's 96-90 victory over the Bucks with 21 points (7-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 21 minutes.

Impact Liddell made the most of his playing time in Tuesday's win over Milwaukee, missing just two of his nine shots from the floor en route to posting his best scoring output of the campaign. Liddell could be a name to watch in the final days of the regular season. He has started in the Nets' last two games, playing at least 20 minutes and scoring at least 15 points each time.

Fares well in start Liddell chipped in 15 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 30 minutes during Sunday's 121-115 victory over Washington.

Impact Liddell recorded a season-high 15 points in his first start of the campaign. With the Nets so thin up front, Liddell may continue to see a healthy amount of minutes for the final four games of the regular season, making him worth a look as a streamer.

Starting Sunday Liddell is starting Sunday versus the Wizards, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact This will be Liddell's first start of the season, and he could receive heavy minutes as one of the last men standing in Brooklyn's frontcourt. Per 36 minutes this season, Liddell has averaged 9.8 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.2 triples and 1.4 blocks per game.

APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE

Hands out four assists off bench Liddell notched one point (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 28 minutes during Sunday's 126-122 loss to the Kings.

Impact The two-way player is seeing fairly steady action for the Nets, appearing in seven of their last eight contests. With Michael Porter (hamstring) out for several weeks, the door is open for Liddell to seize a more prominent role. That said, Liddell has averaged just 3.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.9 blocks in 14.0 minutes per game over his last eight outings for Brooklyn.

MARCH 23 • ROTOWIRE

With NBA club Brooklyn has recalled Liddell from the G League ahead of Sunday's NBA game against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Impact Liddell, a two-way player, has appeared in just eight NBA games this season, but he'll be with the NBA club for Sunday's matchup. Noah Clowney (back) is doubtful for the contest, but Liddell isn't guaranteed a spot in the rotation even if Clowney sits.

Won't play Friday Liddell won't play Friday against the Clippers due to right knee soreness.

Impact Liddell has been a prominent player for Long Island in the G League, but he has just eight appearances at the NBA level this season for an average of 4.4 minutes per contest.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Makes third appearance in loss Liddell ended Friday's 125-107 loss to Detroit with two points (1-2 FG) and one rebound in five minutes.

Impact Liddell moved into the rotation for just the third time this season, with all appearances yielding no more than six minutes of playing time. Although on paper, Brooklyn is a good landing spot for someone like Liddell, it doesn't appear as though he is going to feature on a nightly basis at this point.

NOVEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Signs two-way contract with Nets The Nets signed Liddell to a two-way contract Wednesday, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Liddell made 12 brief regular-season appearances for the Bulls in 2024-25, averaging 4.4 minutes per game, and he'll get his next chance with Brooklyn in 2025-26. Given the two-way deal, the 2023 second-rounder is likely to spend most of his time with the G League's Long Island Nets while the parent club is healthy.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Available to play Liddell (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against the Raptors.

Impact After missing the past two games for Chicago, Liddell is no longer on the injury report. The Bulls could potentially be very shorthanded Tuesday, meaning Liddell could get an opportunity to crack the rotation.

Remains out Monday Liddell (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Liddell will miss a second straight game due to a sore left knee. However, the two-way player hasn't been a regular part of the Bulls' NBA rotation, so his ongoing absence shouldn't impact fantasy hoops.

DECEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out Friday with sore knee Liddell wasn't available Friday in the Bulls' 109-95 win over the Hornets due to a sore left knee.

Impact Liddell is a two-way player who hasn't been a regular part of the rotation at the NBA level this season, but the Bulls likely would have wanted to have him on hand as frontcourt depth while center Nikola Vucevic (illness) missed Friday's contest. Assuming Vucevic's illness isn't a long-term concern and he's able to return to the lineup in the coming days, Liddell probably won't be needed to fill minutes once he moves past his knee issue.
