The Nets don’t let the beat writers into practice at the HSS Training Center. They wait patiently in a nearby media room until practice is over. When all the sweaty stuff is over, they are summoned to the practice court for interviews. Often, they get a look at what players are doing as things wind down, working on their skillsets with assistant coaches, shooting around, dunking, maybe a one-on-one in some far-off corner of the gym. Every once in a while, some news emerges from those stolen moments, as it did two days ago when Erik Slater of Clutch Points caught Ben Simmons practicing his free throws.
