The Latest Breaking News from Joe Harris

NEW YORK — The Nets keep saying they are a better team this season without Kevin Durant than they were last season without Kevin Durant.

NEW YORK — Joe Harris will start in place of the injured Kevin Durant (MCL), Kyrie Irving’s role doesn’t change while Durant is out for a month, and according to head coach Jacque Vaughn, neither does Ben Simmons’.

It happened with just under five minutes left in the fourth quarter against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday.

Despite interest from the Giants, the slugger is staying in New York.

NEW YORK — Make it four in a row and seven of their last nine.

Ben Simmons is finally playing his true position.

NEW YORK — To start the 2015-16 NBA season, the Cleveland Cavaliers fired head coach David Blatt and promoted lead assistant Tyronn Lue. Lue brought the Cavaliers’ locker room together and helped steer the franchise to the first NBA championship in its history that same season.

Good teams find a way to win. Bad teams let wins slip between their fingers.

For the Nets to turn it around after their slow start, they might need to experiment with Simmons at center.
