• Nets' Mikel Brown: Rough shooting performance Thursday

  17H ago • By RotoWire

  Brown finished with 14 points (3-15 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal across 27 minutes in Thursday's 100-83 Summer League loss to Houston. Brown recorded his lowest-scoring total in three Las Vegas Summer League appearances. He also shot less than 50.0 percent from the field and 40.0 percent from deep for the first time during that stretch. Still, it's been a mostly positive summer for the 20-year-old rookie. Although Brown is expected to have his share of struggles during his inaugural campaign, he should still receive more than enough opportunities to produce right away.

• Nets' Mikel Brown: Contributes 16 points in return

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Brown (rest) logged 16 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five assists, two rebounds, two steals and one block over 19 minutes in Tuesday's 115-83 Summer League win over the Kings. Brown was held out of Saturday's game against the Hawks due to rest purposes but was back in action Tuesday, when he finished second on the Nets in assists and as the team's third-leading scorer behind Egor Demin (22 points) and Drake Powell (18 points). Brown was the sixth-overall pick of the 2026 NBA Draft, but his playing time could be inconsistent in his rookie season given the number of young guards on the Nets' roster such as Demin, Powell, Ben Saraf and Nolan Traore, as well as fifth-year pro Keon Ellis.

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Brown recorded 20 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, three assists, two steals and one block over 22 minutes during Friday's 91-65 Las Vegas Summer League win over the Knicks. Brown was locked in on both ends, getting whatever he wanted offensively while wreaking havoc on defense. He likely would have posted an even bigger stat line, but with the Nets comfortably ahead, he spent most of the fourth quarter on the bench.
