Quiet in 26 minutes Traore supplied three points (1-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), two assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Thursday's 120-96 loss to Houston.

Impact Traore saw a solid workload Thursday, but he wasn't able to find his rhythm. With Michael Porter (illness) and Terance Mann (hip) both day-to-day, Traore could potentially get another big chance Friday against Washington.

Called back to NBA club The Nets recalled Traore from the G League on Saturday, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Traore will return to the NBA club after a brief G League stint. The rookie has bounced between the two levels throughout the regular season. He's appeared in merely six NBA contests this season, averaging 1.2 points and 1.3 assists across 8.8 minutes.

Assigned to G League Traore has been sent down to the Long Island Nets of the G League on Monday.

Impact Traore does not have a consistent role within Brooklyn's rotation, and has spent a lot of time between the Nets and their G League affiliate. In 13 games with Long Island, Traore averages 18.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.2 blocks and 2.2 threes across 30.5 minutes.

Rejoins parent club The Nets recalled Traore from the G League's Long Island Nets on Thursday, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact The rookie first-round pick hasn't made an appearance for Brooklyn since Nov. 18, but he could get another look in the rotation during Friday's game at Dallas after a stellar run in the G League. Over his last nine games with Long Island, Traore averaged 20.7 points, 7.0 assists and 3.4 rebounds while shooting 53 percent from the field.

DECEMBER 11, 2025 • NYPOST.COM

Returning to G League Traore was assigned to the G League's Long Island Nets on Wednesday.

Impact Traore continues to bounce back and forth between Brooklyn and Long Island. He should see the majority of his playing time in the G League, at least for the time being.

Heading back to G League Brooklyn transferred Traore to the G League's Long Island Nets on Tuesday, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Brooklyn had briefly assigned Traore to the G League last Thursday before recalling him, so it's unclear if the rookie first-rounder will stick around with the Long Island club. Traore has appeared in just three of the parent team's first seven games.

NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back with Brooklyn The Nets recalled Traore from the G League's Long Island Nets on Friday.

Impact Traore will return to Brooklyn and will be available off the bench against the 76ers on Sunday. He last played for the Nets on Monday against the Rockets, when he logged four points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three assists, one rebounds and two turnovers over 21 minutes.

NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Assigned to G League The Nets assigned Traore to the G League's Long Island Nets on Thursday.

OCTOBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Shooting woes in loss Traore posted four points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three assists and one rebound in 21 minutes during Monday's 137-109 loss to the Rockets.

Impact With Egor Demin (foot) sidelined, Traore logged double-digit minutes for the first time this season. The 19-year-old was one of nine Nets players to see at least 20 minutes, though he struggled with efficiency during his time on the floor. Traore should continue to see opportunities throughout the season on a rebuilding team, though he'll likely play a reduced role whenever both Ben Saraf and Demin are available.

OCTOBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't start Friday Traore won't start in Friday's preseason game against Toronto.

Impact With Ben Saraf entering the starting five, Traore will come off the bench in Brooklyn's preseason finale. The 19-year-old point guard is expected to compete for significant playing time with Egor Demin and Saraf in the 2025-26 campaign.

OCTOBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Shaky in preseason start Traore ended with six points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 17 minutes during Friday's preseason loss to Phoenix.

Impact While he drew the start at point guard in the absence of Egor Demin (foot), Traore didn't fare particularly well in his opportunity in the first unit. He turned the ball over four times, although Traore's shooting performance was at least efficient on limited attempts. Even with Demin progressing well, Traore should still have a reserve role waiting for him with the rebuilding Nets for Opening Night.

OCTOBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Notches seven points Saturday Traore tallied seven points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 18 minutes in Saturday's 123-88 exhibition game win over Hapoel Jerusalem.

Impact Traore struggled with efficiency in Brooklyn's preseason opener after shooting just 30.4 percent from the field in three Summer League appearances. The No.19 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft has an opportunity to carve out a meaningful role for Brooklyn, though he'll have to compete for playing time with Egor Demin (foot), Kobe Bufkin and Ben Saraf.

He averaged 7.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists while shooting 30.4 percent from the field across 22.7 minutes per game in three Summer League appearances.
