The Brooklyn Nets will kick off the 2025-26 season with Practice in the Park at Potomac Playground in Bed-Stuy on Sep. 27, giving fans a first look at drills and community buzz. The event, presented by Ticketmaster, blends on-court work with neighborhood festivities—Gersh Park vs. Zone 6 Park, a Brooklyn Celebrity Game, and a basketball combine—building excitement as five rookies join the squad.

Cam Thomas and Michael Porter Jr. headline the on-court action, with Egor Demin, the eighth pick in 2025, also slated to appear. Nets leadership stresses community connection as a foundation for a season aiming to flip last year’s 26-56 mark and propel a younger, more dynamic identity.
