It can be argued that no team has had it harder than the New Jersey Nets. They haven't won a game in 12...
NEWARK, N.J. - Former NBA star Jayson Williams is expected to plead guilty Friday in the fatal 2002 shooting of a hired driver, weeks before he faced a second trial for reckless manslaughter.
Former Knicks guard Micheal Ray Richardson was once asked to describe his team's prospects. "The ship be sinking," he said, a quote that has famously followed him through the years. "How far?" "Sky's the limit," Richardson said. Nowhere to go but up now for his former teams -- especially since the winless Nets hope they've already hit bottom.
Retired NBA star Jayson Williams has agreed to a plea deal that would send him to prison for up to three years for accidentally shooting a driver at his New Jersey estate in 2002, a person with knowledge of the case told The Associated Press on Thursday. Williams, who retired in 2000 after playing nine seasons in the NBA for the Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Nets, was to face a retrial in...
Brandon Jennings knew it was a gamble. So far, all the odds have been in the rookie's favor. Jennings made a swipe and slam past two stunned Nets during a 15-0 run to start the second half, Andrew Bogut and Carlos Delfino each scored 21 points, and the Milwaukee Bucks beat winless New Jersey 99-85 on Wednesday night.
Danny Granger thought the Indiana Pacers had a rough start to the season. Try telling that to the winless New Jersey Nets. Granger scored 22 points, Roy Hibbert tied a career high with 19 and the Pacers dropped the Nets to 0-11 with a 91-83 victory Tuesday night. Dahntay Jones added 17 points for the Pacers, who have won five straight after losing their first three games and can continue their...
Dwyane Wade didn't want overtime. Wade made a 3-pointer with 0.1 seconds left to give the Miami Heat an 81-80 victory over the undermanned and winless New Jersey Nets on Saturday night. Just another day, another win, Wade said jokingly of his heroic final play, one drawn up to play out differently by Heat coach Erik Spoelstra.
Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard showed the winless New Jersey Nets that he'd like to repeat as the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year. Howard blocked five shots, scored 26 points and grabbed 12 rebounds as the Magic defeated New Jersey Nets 88-72 on Friday night. The Nets, the NBA's only winless team at 0-9, played without three starters and shot 33 percent (28 of 85) for the game.
Carmelo Anthony can do without the MVP chatter. He just wants to finally play in the NBA Finals.
Upset by Byron Scott's firing, Hornets star Chris Paul needs a reason to believe his team can win again.
The father of former NBA star Jayson Williams has died. The Brice W. Herndon and Sons Funeral Home said Elijah Joshua "E.J." Williams died Tuesday. He was 76. Christopher Adams, an attorney for Jayson Williams, said E.J. Williams died at his son's home in Bluffton, S.C., of complications from several strokes.
The Philadelphia 76ers gave the Nets every chance to end their franchise-worst start and New Jersey just wouldn't take it. Marreese Speights, however, didn't turn down the opportunity to make the 76ers a winner. Speights converted a go-ahead three-point play with 1:10 to play and the Nets missed three chances to take the lead in the final minute as the 76ers posted an 82-79 victory...

Russian tycoon Mikhail Prokhorov knew the New Jersey Nets were rebuilding when he agreed to spend $200 million to buy the NBA franchise and help move it to Brooklyn. The richest man in Russia may need some more of his money to turn around one of the NBA's worst teams. Seven games into the season, the Nets are the league's only winless team, and that's not all that's gone wrong in...
Dallas forward Josh Howard looked energized despite a long layoff from injury. The Toronto Raptors could have used some of his zip.
Chris Douglas-Roberts has tested positive for swine flu, another blow to a New Jersey Nets team that is losing players as quickly as games. Douglas-Roberts had started every game for the winless Nets until missing a loss at Philadelphia on Friday with flu-like symptoms. Nets president Rod Thorn confirmed on Saturday that Douglas-Roberts tested positive for the H1N1 virus.
Andre Iguodala and the Philadelphia 76ers did just enough to win. With the Sixers still stinging from a 31-point loss three nights earlier, that was just fine by them. Iguodala scored 16 points, including a late 3-pointer to give Philadelphia the lead, and knocked the ball away from Terrence Williams' hands before the Nets could attempt a tying shot to give the 76ers a 97-94 win over New Jersey...
Los Angeles Lakers 103, Houston 102 I really loved watching this game. Such fun. Such flow. Yao Ming and Pau Gasol...
Down by a point after sub-par first-half performances by Chauncey Billups and Carmelo Anthony, the Denver Nuggets become the latest team to take advantage of the New Jersey Nets' woes in the third quarter. Billups and Anthony woke up the Nuggets by leading a 44-point third-quarter assault that carried unbeaten Denver to its fifth straight win, a 122-94 decision over the victory over the...

Just when you thought nobody could match the Charlotte Bobcats' offensive ineptitude, the New Jersey Nets one-upped them. Try more than 10 minutes without a point and nearly 11 1/2 without a field goal. Add in another key injury and another deflating loss and the Nets' season is already in a freefall.
Gilbert Arenas scored 32 points, barely cracked a smile on the court and afterward declared: "I don't get excited anymore." Andray Blatche scored a flashy career-high 30, strutted to the crowd after a highlight-reel baseline dunk and wore his fancy sunglasses as he approached reporters in the locker room.
New Jersey Nets point guard Devin Harris said he'll be sidelined at least a week because of an injured right groin. Harris sat out Saturday night's game against the Washington Wizards and will leave the Nets' road trip Sunday to see a specialist in Chicago. Harris said he's aiming to return in seven to 10 days.
While a sprained left ankle spoiled Vince Carter's return to New Jersey, it did nothing to slow down Dwight Howard and the Eastern Conference champion Orlando Magic. Carter scored 16 points before leaving the game against his former teammates in the second quarter, but Howard more than made up for his absence with 20 points, 22 rebounds and four blocks in a 95-85 victory Friday night.
David Vaughn knows the adulation of NBA crowds. He also knows the humbling task of maneuvering his 6-foot-9 frame into his Chevy Impala to sleep. Less than a decade after the end of a four-season NBA career, the former power forward spent six months on the streets of Orlando, Fla., having run through the $2.2 million he earned in the league.
