Traore closed with nine points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one block over 30 minutes during Thursday's 107-103 loss to the Nuggets.
Making his first start in the NBA with fellow rookie Egor Demin (foot) sidelined, Traore didn't look out of place, but he didn't make much of an impact, either. Traore missed the last two games himself due to an illness, and through 14 contests in January, the 19th overall pick in the 2025 Draft is averaging 7.9 points, 3.5 assists, 1.5 boards and 1.1 threes in 23.9 minutes.

Nets' Nolan Traore: Draws rare start Thursday
Rotowire
Traore is starting Thursday's game against the Nuggets, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Traore will draw the first start of his NBA career with Egor Demin (foot) sidelined. Traore sat out of Sunday's matchup against the Clippers due to illness and wasn't deployed off the bench despite being available Tuesday, but he'll be in line for his fair share of opportunities Thursday night.

Nets' Nolan Traore: Available Tuesday
Rotowire
Traore (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against the Suns, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Traore missed Sunday's loss to the Clippers due to an illness but will shed his probable tag and suit up Tuesday. The rookie first-rounder has seen consistent burn across 13 appearances this month, averaging 7.8 points, 3.5 assists and 1.5 rebounds across 23.5 minutes per tilt during that span.

Nets' Nolan Traore: Likely to return Tuesday
Rotowire
Traore (illness) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Suns.
Traore has been battling through an illness that prevented him from playing against the Clippers on Sunday, but the rookie first-rounder appears to be on track to play Tuesday. Friday's double-overtime loss to the Celtics was the most productive game of Traore's young career, during which he recorded 21 points, three rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block over 37 minutes.

Nets' Nolan Traore: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Traore has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Clippers due to illness.
Traore is feeling under the weather, and he'll be unavailable for Sunday's matchup with the Clippers. Cam Thomas (ankle) is also out, so Ben Saraf, Tyrese Martin and Terance Mann will handle most of the reserve guard minutes. Traore's next chance to play will come Tuesday at Phoenix.

Nets' Nolan Traore: Has best game as a pro
Rotowire
Traore ended Friday's 130-126 double-overtime loss to Boston with 21 points (7-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 37 minutes.
This was the performance that showed why Traore was a first-round pick for Brooklyn. He posted career highs in points, steals, and minutes played in the double-overtime loss while serving as Brooklyn's second-leading scorer on the night. Hopefully, the 19th overall pick in last year's draft builds off of this performance as the second half of his rookie season carries on.

Nets' Nolan Traore: Scores 16 points in loss
Rotowire
Traore chipped in 16 points (4-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), one rebound and two assists in 26 minutes during Sunday's 124-102 loss to Chicago.
Traore wasn't provided many opportunities to open the campaign, but the Nets are currently giving him a long look in the rotation. He hasn't made much noise in fantasy hoops just yet, however, as he's averaging 7.1 points, 3.9 assists, 1.4 rebounds and 1.4 three-pointers on 32.1 percent shooting from the field over his last seven outings.

Nets' Nolan Traore: Dishes out six more dimes
Rotowire
Traore ended Monday's 113-105 loss to the Mavericks with six points (3-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound, six assists and one steal in 22 minutes.
Traore tied the team high in dimes off the bench, which now makes it consecutive outings with six assists for the rookie first-rounder. It seems like the Nets are ready to give Traore more meaningful playing time, as the guard has played at least 20 minutes in six of his last seven appearances, but Traore remains a work in progress and could remain hard-pressed for fantasy relevance in 2025-26.

Nets' Nolan Traore: Quiet in 26 minutes
Rotowire
Traore supplied three points (1-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), two assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Thursday's 120-96 loss to Houston.
Traore saw a solid workload Thursday, but he wasn't able to find his rhythm. With Michael Porter (illness) and Terance Mann (hip) both day-to-day, Traore could potentially get another big chance Friday against Washington.

Nets' Nolan Traore: Rejoins parent club
Rotowire
The Nets recalled Traore from the G League's Long Island Nets on Thursday, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
The rookie first-round pick hasn't made an appearance for Brooklyn since Nov. 18, but he could get another look in the rotation during Friday's game at Dallas after a stellar run in the G League. Over his last nine games with Long Island, Traore averaged 20.7 points, 7.0 assists and 3.4 rebounds while shooting 53 percent from the field.
Traore was assigned to the G League's Long Island Nets on Wednesday.
Traore continues to bounce back and forth between Brooklyn and Long Island. He should see the majority of his playing time in the G League, at least for the time being.

Nets' Nolan Traore: Shooting woes in loss
Rotowire
Traore posted four points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three assists and one rebound in 21 minutes during Monday's 137-109 loss to the Rockets.
With Egor Demin (foot) sidelined, Traore logged double-digit minutes for the first time this season. The 19-year-old was one of nine Nets players to see at least 20 minutes, though he struggled with efficiency during his time on the floor. Traore should continue to see opportunities throughout the season on a rebuilding team, though he'll likely play a reduced role whenever both Ben Saraf and Demin are available.
