Andre Drummond teaches a lesson to Noah Clowney of the Nets


The Brooklyn Nets faced a tough 117-95 preseason loss to the Philadelphia 76ers with their big men out due to injuries, leading to young center Noah Clowney having a challenging start. Coach Jordi Fernandez emphasized the need for more fight from the team as a whole, not just Clowney, in order to compete at a higher level. Despite Clowney’s efforts with 11 points, eight rebounds, and two blocks, he struggled against Andre Drummond and learned valuable lessons from the game.

The absence of players like Nic Claxton and Day’Ron Sharpe due to injuries forced Ben Simmons into the starting lineup, with Sharpe also getting a night off to manage his return from surgery. Killian Hayes also missed all three preseason games with a sore hip, but the team is prioritizing his health and recovery.

The Nets are still evaluating their options to fill the gaps in the team with open spots for a backup center and backup point guard. Fernandez mentioned that they will discuss the best approach with general manager Sean Marks and his team after assessing the current roster post-preseason games. Despite the challenges faced in the preseason, the team remains optimistic and committed to improving their performance in the upcoming season.
