The Nets’ injury woes continue as they lose two key players for the final stretch of the season.Brooklyn Today
Brooklyn Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez announced that forwards Michael Porter Jr. and Danny Wolf will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 NBA season due to their respective injuries. Porter has been dealing with an ankle sprain and hamstring strain, while Wolf suffered a left ankle sprain during the team’s recent road trip. Both players have had productive seasons, with Porter averaging career-highs in points, rebounds, and assists, and Wolf enjoying a solid rookie campaign.
Why it matters
The Nets are trying to finish the season on a strong note, but these injuries to key players in their rotation will make that task more difficult. Porter and Wolf were both having strong seasons and were expected to be important pieces for the Nets going forward, so their absence for the final week of the year is a setback for the team’s development and momentum heading into the offseason.
The details
Porter, 27, has missed time recently due to an ankle sprain and a hamstring strain, while Wolf, 21, suffered a left ankle sprain during the team’s four-game west coast road trip. In addition to rookie guard Egor Demin and backup center Day’Ron Sharpe, Porter and Wolf will end their seasons having shown plenty of what they should be able to offer on the court next season.
