The 2018–19 Brooklyn Nets season was the 43rd season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), 52nd season overall, and its seventh season playing in the New York City borough of Brooklyn.
On November 12, 2018, late in the first half of the game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Caris LeVert suffered a subtalar dislocation of the right foot and was scheduled to return later in the season after rehabilitation,[3][4] making his return on February 8, 2019.[5] The December 16 game against the Atlanta Hawks at Barclays Center was the highest scoring game at the venue in Nets' history, while the 144 points scored by the Nets were the second-most points scored in regulation in franchise history.[6] On March 19, the Nets came back from a 28-point deficit, which also was the biggest comeback in team history, when they defeated the Sacramento Kings 123–121, and also became just the fourth team since the 1954–55 season to overcome a 25-point deficit in the fourth quarter.[7][8]
For the first time in his NBA career D'Angelo Russell was selected to participate in the NBA All-Star Game when he was announced as the replacement for the injured Victor Oladipo in the 2019 NBA All-Star Game.[9]
With a 108–96 victory over the Indiana Pacers on April 7, the Nets clinched a playoff spot for the first time since the 2014–15 season.[10][11] On April 10, in a 113–94 win against the Miami Heat, the Nets clinched their first winning season since 2013–14.[12]
In the playoffs, the Nets faced the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round,[13] and were defeated in five games.[14]
Draft
[edit]Round | Pick | Player | Position | Nationality | School/club |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 29 | Džanan Musa | SF | Cedevita Zagreb | |
2 | 40 | Rodions Kurucs | SF | FC Barcelona Lassa |
The Nets entered the draft holding one first round pick and two second round picks. It became the last draft year where the effects of their Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce trade with the Boston Celtics would take effect.[15][16] The first round pick along with the second round pick (40th overall) were acquired on July 13, 2017, in a trade with the Toronto Raptors that sent DeMarre Carroll to the Nets in exchange for Justin Hamilton.[17] The other second round pick (45th overall) was acquired on February 5, 2018, in a trade with the Milwaukee Bucks that sent Rashad Vaughn to the Nets in exchange for Tyler Zeller.[18] However, just days before draft night, the Nets agreed to trade the 45th pick (which became Hamidou Diallo), another second round pick, Timofey Mozgov, and cash considerations to the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for Dwight Howard, although the trade would not be official until July 6, 2018.[19] With the Nets' sole first round pick, Brooklyn selected the Bosnian-born Džanan Musa, a small forward from Croatia's Cedevita Zagreb, while with the second round pick the Nets selected the Latvian-born small forward Rodions Kurucs from Spain's FC Barcelona Lassa.[20]
