Wolf amassed 11 points (4-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-4 FT), six rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal across 28 minutes during Thursday's 112-84 loss to Cleveland.
Wolf posted an impressive box score during the defeat, showcasing his diverse skill set. As long as Nic Claxton (ankle) remains sidelined, Wolf has a clear path to increased usage. Day'Ron Sharpe started Thursday's game at center, but he played only 20 minutes and finished with four points (1-5 FG), five rebounds and three assists.

Nets' Danny Wolf: Headed to bench
Rotowire
Wolf will come off the bench for Wednesday's game versus the Pacers, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
While Wolf won't start, it's worth noting that Michael Porter (knee), Noah Clowney (ankle) and Nic Claxton (hip) are out, so Wolf still has the potential to play meaningful minutes while working in a reserve role Wednesday evening. Wolf has logged at least 20 minutes in each of his previous three outings and has recorded double-digit points in all of them.

Rotowire
Wolf racked up 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt), seven rebounds and six assists over 20 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 127-113 victory over Washington.
The six assists were a career high for the 27th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, while the 16 points were Wolf's highest total since Dec. 12 against the Mavericks. The Michigan product remains inconsistent in the second unit, however -- Wolf has scored in double digits only four times in the last 11 games (three starts), averaging 8.7 points, 5.5 boards, 2.5 assists and 1.0 threes in 20.8 minutes a contest over that stretch.

Wolf struggled to find the bottom of the basket during the blowout loss, but his assists and rebounds salvaged his bottom line. Wolf is seeing extra time due to injuries for Noah Clowney (back) and Cam Thomas (knee). While both could return as early as Tuesday, Wolf should still log a healthy dose of minutes, especially if either of them receives a minute restriction.

Rotowire
Wolf ended with zero points (0-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists across 19 minutes during Sunday's 96-81 victory over Toronto.
Wolf was held scoreless Sunday, which doesn't bode well for his chances of gaining playing time going forward. The rookie forward has still been a solid rotation piece, having averaged 10.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 22.3 minutes per contest over his last 10 games.

Nets' Danny Wolf: Debuts in garbage time
Rotowire
Wolf (ankle) played the final 3:33 of Monday's 125-109 loss to the Timberwolves, finishing with zero points (0-1 FG), two assists and one rebound.
One of the Nets' five first-round draft picks back in June, Wolf was the final one to make his NBA debut after he sustained a left ankle sprain at some point late in the preseason. He was finally cleared ahead of Monday's contest, though he didn't end up checking into the game until the Timberwolves already had the game well in hand. Since Wolf doesn't look like he'll be a regular part of the Brooklyn rotation at the moment, he could be in line for frequent trips to the G League to see steadier playing time with the Long Island Nets.
