I hadn’t heard this before, but apparently “Brooklyn’s Backcourt”—Dëmin and Brown—has a new nickname, “The Aura Bros.” 🏀 ⚫️⚪️ #LFGN #LGN #BrooklynNets #NetsWorld #NetsSky #Brooklyn #BrooklynSky #BrooklynsBackcourt #TheAuraBros #EgorDemin #MikelBrownJr #Kel #3gor

This pair [Dëmin & Brown] has already been seen hanging out with each other off the court and has even earned a
nickname from the basketball world on X - the Aura Bros.

"The Aura Bros? I've seen that a little bit. He's been a really good friend of mine ever since he's here..." Demin told ClutchPoints reporter Kris Pursiainen in mid-July. "I think we have a really good opportunity to be around each other a little bit, get to know each other. Get to feel what it is for the regular season, for the main team... I'm very happy with the idea of me and him being a duo, backcourt. I'm very happy."

Brooklyn fans love you, Clax! 🥹 🏀 ⚫️⚪️ #NicClaxton #NetsFamily #NetsSky #NetsWorld #BrooklynNets

"These past seven years have been an amazing ride. I appreciate the Nets organization and fans for believing in me. I felt the love and support from day 1," Claxton wrote in a letter that he posted to X on Saturday. As the result of the Nets acquiring Randle from the Timberwolves, Brooklyn sent Claxton to the Chicago Bulls where he will continue his career after spending seven seasons with the Nets.

"Through the ups and down, this city watched me grow into a man. I will always cherish my time spent there. I created so many beautiful memories and friendships that will last a lifetime," Claxton continued in his letter. "I will forever be grateful I was able to call Brooklyn home. With all of that being said, it was time to move on. Thanks again for rocking with me. I will see y'all again."

His words are next to an image of Clax, with his back to the camera, wearing his black Nets uniform on the court.

So far, to my frustration, I’ve only been able to watch 10-minute highlight packages. 😔 What was with that announcer who kept calling Egor something that sounded like “Joyman?” 🤣 Is 3gor gonna be our happier version of “Jumpman?” 🏀 ⚫️⚪️ #NetsWorld #EgorDemin #NBASummerLeague #AirJoyMan

Brooklyn Buckets was at the NBA Draft tonight, as promised! I had two lagers and a smash burger…. 🍺 🍺 🍔 And I decided, at the last second, to wear my Claxton Coogi jersey to honor our good memories of Clax in BK 🥲 I choose to believe it brought us good luck 🍀 #NetsWorld #2026NBADraft #NetsSky

An extreme close-up of Brooklyn Buckets’ chest. He’s thankfully wearing a black, Coogi-trimmed, Nic Claxton jersey (though the number is cut off; you’ll have to trust him) over a long-sleeved grey t-shirt.

He LOVES the Nets! 🖤🤍

Nets worked out Morez Johnson 👀 🏀 ⚫️⚪️ #BrooklynNets #NetsWorld #NetsSky #NBADraft #MorezJohnson #2026NBADraft

Sharif Phillips-Keaton @SharifKeaton • Tweeted:

“With the Nets bringing in Michigan big Morez Johnson for a workout and Johnson expected to be off the board by the end of the Lottery at the earliest, it's fair to assume that Brooklyn is covering its bases in case it acquires another first-round pick later in the 2026 NBA Draft.”

Michael Scotto @MikeAScotto • Tweeted:

“Sources: The Brooklyn Nets brought in Morez Johnson for a workout today as they figure out what they'll do with the 6th pick. He helped Michigan win the NCAA title, averaging 13.1 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks. He was an All-Big Ten Team and Big Ten All-Defensive selection”

Blowout loss but enjoyed my 1st game of the year. Looks like we haven’t gelled yet. Also Sab in street clothes & Satou not near game speed/sharpness—she’ll get there soon. We couldn’t hit shots, but Astier & Vanloo are fun as hell to watch racing around the court 🩵 🗽 🏀 #WNBA #NewYorkLiberty #WNBASky

Really entertaining game, unlike the earlier Knish win 😒 Spurs had a chance to pull it out with a last-second shot, but the Wolves held on to steal game one on the road. Some BIG buckets by Julius Randle in the 4th in this one. 🏀 #NBASky #NBAPlayoffs #SkyHoops #MinnesotaTimberwolves #JuliusRandle

Brooklyn Buckets was at Barclays tonight! And things got so bad I fled my seat at halftime for BK’s world-famous MODELO BRIDGE 🍺 🌉, where I downed enough beer to calm my nerves & witness our boys bounce back to lose nobly—if not competitively—in the 2nd half 😊 Two more to go! 🏀 ⚫️⚪️ #NetsWorld #NBA
