The Brooklyn Nets are gearing up for a pivotal 2025-26 NBA season after a transformative offseason. Following a disappointing 26-56 season, the team made significant changes, including drafting five players, a record for them. Notably, they acquired veterans Terance Mann from the Atlanta Hawks and Michael Porter Jr. from the Denver Nuggets, bolstering their roster with both youth and experience.

Projected starting point guard Egor Demin, selected eighth overall in the 2025 NBA Draft, will lead a revamped backcourt. Cam Thomas, expected to re-sign, is slated as shooting guard, while Porter Jr. is a lock for small forward, pending positional decisions. Noah Clowney and Nic Claxton are expected to round out the starting lineup, with Claxton’s experience being a cornerstone for the Nets.
