Brooklyn Nets

Michael Porter Jr.

F

The Nets are sitting on a record of 18-58, and with just six games remaining on the schedule, it's not surprising to see Porter get shut down. The 27-year-old forward hit career highs across the board in his first season with the Nets, contributing top-30 value behind averages of 24.2 points, 7.1 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 3.4 triples and 1.1 steals per game on 46/36/86 shooting splits.

Danny Wolf

F

With the Nets playing out the final string of a losing season, they're taking a cautious approach with the rookie first-rounder. Wolf showed promise at times in his first year, averaging 8.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 20.8 minutes per contest through 57 regular-season games (15 starts). With Wolf's campaign over, Noah Clowney, Josh Minott and Chaney Johnson should help pick up the slack at power forward.

Egor Demin

G

Demin was shut down for the season earlier in March due to a lingering battle with plantar fasciitis. The rookie guard underwent a procedure to address the issue, and it looks like he'll be ready in more than enough time for the start of the 2026-27 campaign. Demin logged 10.3 points, 3.3 assists and 3.2 rebounds across 25.2 minutes per game in 2025-26.

Day'Ron Sharpe

C

This is a tough blow for Sharpe, who was in the process of putting together one of the best campaigns of his young NBA career. He averaged 8.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals in 62 games. Both Danny Wolf and Josh Minott should be in the mix for backup center minutes with Sharpe sidelined.
