Broadcasters Chris Carrino and Mike Fratello \u2014 who have over three decades combined calling Nets games \u2014 will be enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame this summer as Curt Gowdy Award winners.<\/p>\n

Carrino, a Fordham product, has been the Nets\u2019 radio play-by-play announcer since 2002.<\/p>\n

Fratello, noted for his use of the telestrator, spent a decade working with Ian Eagle and Marv Albert on YES Network.<\/p>\n

\u201cI share this recognition with my radio partner and best friend for 24 years. I\u2019m not still doing this today without the Capper. A HOF person if there ever was one,\u201d Carrino posted on X on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so honored to represent the\u2066@BrooklynNets organization and to be alongside my friend, the legendary Mike Fratello. Thanks for all the congrats messages. I\u2019m blown away.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ziaire Williams had 23 points off the bench in Saturday\u2019s come-from-behind win at Detroit<\/a>, as well as several huge defensive plays late.<\/p>\n

He scored 15 points in a third straight game for the first time in his career.<\/p>\n

Day\u2019Ron Sharpe added 13 points and seven rebounds in 21 minutes, including nine points and five boards \u2014 three offensive \u2014 in 7:43 during the fourth.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just think it always requires a lot of effort to win,\u201d said Sharpe. \u201cSo, no matter if I\u2019m on the court [for] 10 minutes or 30 minutes, I\u2019m going to try my best to help us win. Bringing the energy is always what I do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grant Nelson took a DNP with his 10-day contract ending Sunday. Brooklyn can ink him to a second 10-day or return him to G-League Long Island.<\/p>\n

\u201c[He\u2019s] a very good basketball player. Everything he does, he does it well,\u201d Jordi Fern\u00e1ndez said. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t over-dribble or try to do too much. Everything is efficient. His size is great. He\u2019s a multi-positional defender, very good playmaker, fast. All of those things have been very good. It translates to this level.Obviously right now we have one more game and then after that we\u2019ll have to discuss and see what the next move going forward is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saturday at Detroit marked a fourth straight game that Egor D\u00ebmin missed nursing his plantar fasciitis.<\/p>\n

Fern\u00e1ndez took the high road when told about the shots Cam Thomas took at Brooklyn<\/a>, but pushed back against his disgruntled ex-player\u2019s narrative that the Nets not only didn\u2019t believe in him, but didn\u2019t believe in anybody else, either.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wish Cam the best. We loved him while he was here. We hope that he does very well where he is,\u201d Fern\u00e1ndez said. \u201cI don\u2019t know if he has the right to speak about others. We\u2019re happy with the guys we have here. I believe that everybody here can help us with what we have planned.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An image collage containing 2 images, Image 1 shows Nets play-by-play announcer Chris Carrino will be enshrined in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":647055,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3767],"tags":[7,1688,670,247,3803,959,83763,83764,227,568,13866,16586,6,671,52241,4610],"class_list":{"0":"post-647054","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-brooklyn-nets","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-basketball-hall-of-fame","10":"tag-brooklyn","11":"tag-brooklyn-nets","12":"tag-brooklynnets","13":"tag-cam-thomas","14":"tag-chris-carrino","15":"tag-curt-gowdy-award","16":"tag-egor-demin","17":"tag-getty-images","18":"tag-marv-albert","19":"tag-mike-fratello","20":"tag-nba","21":"tag-nets","22":"tag-play-by-play-announcer","23":"tag-ziaire-williams"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116193556158258760","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/647054","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=647054"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/647054\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/647055"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=647054"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=647054"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=647054"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
