Brooklyn Nets 2023-24 season Recap and Offseason Updates.

The Brooklyn Nets had a disappointing 2023-2024 season, finishing with a 32-50 record, which was 13th in the Eastern Conference. The team missed the playoffs for the first time since 2021 and struggled with consistency and injuries to key players. Mikal Bridges was the team’s top performer, but was traded to the Knicks mid-season, Spencer Dinwiddie led the team in scoring, but was inconsistent.

The team’s defense struggled, ranking 25th in the league in points allowed per game. The Nets had a poor home record, winning only 16 games at the Barclays Center.

Overall, it was a tough season for the Nets, and they’re now in rebuild mode as they look to retool their roster and return to competitiveness.

The Brooklyn Nets made the following re-signings:

– Spencer Dinwiddie (agreed to a 2-year, $40 million contract extension)
