Brooklyn Nets haven’t had a convincing start to the 2022-23 campaign as they are 1-2 this season. They recently lost to Ja Morant’s Memphis Grizzlies by 10 points on the road. Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving were the star performers for the Nets, as both scored 37 points. However, it wasn’t enough to stop a second-half comeback from the Grizzlies. Ben Simmons continues to struggle for the Nets this season and scored just 7 points in the recent game.

As the Nets find their way into the new season, a recent report has revealed that the Nets are the team with the least season ticket sales in the NBA.
