Brooklyn Nets projected for worst record in Eastern Conference this season
Summary

The Brooklyn Nets are projected to finish with the worst record in the NBA's Eastern Conference, according to John Hollinger of The Athletic. After a challenging 2025-26 season with a 20-62 record, the Nets aim to improve with new additions, including Julius Randle from the Minnesota Timberwolves. Despite optimism for a better outcome, the team's lack of motivation may hinder their progress. The Nets are anticipated to end the season with a 26-56 record, trailing behind the Chicago Bulls and Milwaukee Bucks. Their next preseason game is scheduled against Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Miami Heat on Wednesday.
