Michael Porter Jr.: I never lost consistently my whole career until I got to Brooklyn. We were losing a lot. We were young. We were building something, but we’re not there yet. So it was definitely hard, bro. It definitely was hard. But I see the future with the team. I see what we’ve got in the young dudes. I see we have the most money to spend. I think we’ve got the most. We’re the youngest team. Kind of like Oklahoma City — it took them a while to get good. I think that’ll be how it is here. But I’m with it. I want to stay in Brooklyn.

The Nets never viewed Mikal Bridges as Superman, but as the perfect Robin to team up with a potential Batman like Antetokounmpo. And sources told The Post that Brooklyn’s hope had been to lure the Greek star back in 2023-24. But when Antetokounmpo opted to stay put in Milwaukee, Marks pivoted and traded Bridges to the Knicks that June for a record-setting haul of five first-round picks and a swap. They picked a lane, and that lane was headed toward a rebuild with no exit ramp.
Despite a Bleacher Report story that claimed Brooklyn had called the Bucks about Antetokounmpo, sources told The Post that the Nets never did. Having paid Houston dearly to reacquire their natural 2025 and ’26 first-round picks — and now committed to building with those lottery picks — it was the worst possible timing.
Eric Nehm: Bucks injury report for Tuesday in Brooklyn: Out: G. Antetokounmpo (L Knee Hyperextension; Bone Bruise) Kuzma (R Achilles Tendonopathy) Porter Jr. (R Knee Synovitis) Portis Jr. (L Wrist Sprain) Rollins (R Hip Strain) Trent Jr. (L Hip Pointer) Turner (L Ankle Sprain)
Sean Cunningham: Kings win 126-122 after the Nets botch the inbound play. Nolan Traore stepping out of bounds and seals Brooklyn's fate. Sacramento gets its 19th win of the season.

Darryn Peterson made his NCAA Tournament debut while Brooklyn was hosting the Knicks on Friday, while Boozer made his Thursday afternoon. Dybantsa put on an all-time performance in BYU’s loss to Texas, looking like a potential No. 1 overall pick. “He’s going to be a great player. People talk about comparisons to [Kevin Durant], Jayson Tatum, and it does look like it to me,” Nets rookie Egor Dëmin told The Post of his BYU successor. “It’s a lot of midrange, really aggressive driver, slasher, the transition game, physicality, crazy athlete. He’s got everything to be able to play on the highest level.”
Undersized and undermanned, yes. But watch Josh Minott and Brooklyn’s bench lead a near comeback in their 93-92 heartbreaker Friday night at Barclays Center. And listen to Minott in the painful aftermath, and it would be clear just how much it meant. “I wanted that s–t so f–king bad,” said a visibly galled Minott, who had 22 points on a career-best 6-for-9 from deep. “Ever since we’ve been here, it’s like every game is an away game. [Friday] was just the night to really just stick it to everybody, man. As an organization, as a team, to show people that we got s–t here, yo.
New York Knicks head coach Mike Brown acknowledged Brooklyn’s performance after Friday’s 93-92 road win at Barclays Center. “Give Brooklyn a lot of credit. I thought they came out and they were extremely physical from the beginning of the game throughout the whole game and it impacted us and start with Jordi on down. Jordi outcoached me,” Brown said.
Marc J Spears: Knicks head coach Mike Brown reached 500 wins with a victory at Brooklyn tonight and became the 40th coach in NBA history to reach that mark. Hawks head coach Quin Snyder also has 496 career coaching wins.
