The Nets ruled out No. 27 pick Danny Wolf for Sunday's 76ers matchup in Brooklyn due to a lingering ankle injury.

For a team already off to a rough start, running into one of the NBA’s most efficient scoring machines wasn’t exactly the ideal get-right game for the Brooklyn Nets. However, Sunday night’s 129-105 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers wound up meaning even more than that.

After a 0-4 start, the Nets came home to Barclays Center looking for their first win against the Atlanta Hawks. Instead, it was the same problems that had killed Brooklyn all season that popped up again in a 117-112 HERE loss to the Hawks. Here are the three biggest takeaways from the Nets win over the Hawks.

Ahead of Sunday’s meeting with the Philadelphia 76ers, Nets head coach Jordi Fernández said the team used its three-day layoff to reset

Brooklyn has listed Ziaire Williams as questionable due to a lower back and glute contusion while Haywood Highsmith has been ruled out as he continues to recover from right knee surgery. Because of this, the Nets recalled Drake Powell and Danny Wolf from their G League team ahead of their game against the Hawks.

The Brooklyn Nets have begun the 2025-26 NBA season with an 0-4 record and it seems like the losing will continue if the defense isn't addressed.
