The Long Island Nets suffered their third straight loss on Thursday, 117-98, dropping their to the previously winless College Park Skyhawks — the G League affiliate of the Atlanta Hawks.
After not seeing the floor since Long Island’s season opener due to right knee soreness and subsequent tendinopathy, Nets rookie David Duke Jr. is finally back on the floor but playing for Brooklyn rather than Long Island. Duke has spent the majority of time rehabbing his injury with Long Island, but suited up with the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday for his NBA debut. Long Island head coach Adam Caporn tuned into his debut and found himself quite pleased.
