Nets Summer League Debut Falls Short | Sacramento Kings News

The Brooklyn Nets stumbled to a narrow 79-76 loss in their Summer League opener, missing out on a big showdown between top draft picks Mikel Brown Jr. and Darius Acuff — since Brown Jr. sat out both games, his debut is now set for Monday against Golden State. Despite the setback, second-year guard Egor Demin shined with 23 points, 7 rebounds, and leadership, while Acuff delivered 29 points and key late-game shots. The team’s early lead evaporated due to a drop in physicality, especially from the second unit. Next up: a Sunday tilt with the Bucks, followed by the Vegas tournament starting July 9 — and the status of Danny Wolf (out with a back issue) remains uncertain.
