Monday marked the first time three Israelis ever faced off in the NBA.
With the Nets hosting Portland — and rising Trail Blazers star Deni Avdija taking on Nets rookies Ben Saraf and Danny Wolf — Monday marked the first time three Israel is ever faced off in the NBA . “Yeah, it’s special,” said Nets coach Jordi Fernández.
“When other countries outside the US and Europe can be represented with three players here, it means the world, and it’s a special day that everybody has to enjoy. And I think they are already. …I don’t know Deni, but I’m sure he’s excited to play. I know Ben and Danny are. “And that’s good. It’s one of the two times that we’ll see this and hopefully for many years, see how these guys grow. Obviously Deni, a career year and how much better he has gotten. And then our two young guys, they’re getting better. And I want to see this matchup over the years and how interesting, how cool it is to see them play against each other.” Wolf started a third straight game with Michael Porter Jr. out. He came into Monday averaging 12.2 points and 6.2 rebounds over his prior ten games before Portland. Porter missed a third straight game with a sprained right ankle Monday vs. Portland, but has resumed on-court work and appears to be close to a return. “Yeah, I’m not qualified to talk about grades , but I can share that he did form shooting in the last game that we played, and is going to be his first workout,” Fernández said before Brooklyn hosted the Trail Blazers. “So let’s see how he feels after it. He’s getting better, and then we’ll assess.” Nets’ furious rally falls short against 76ers as tank keeps rolling onBackup center Day’Ron Sharpe and rookie lottery pick Egor Dëmin have both already been ruled out for the season.
