The Long Island Nets returned to the court on Friday night for the first time since the All-Star break, as they got set to face Mac McClung and the Osceola Magic. This new-look Long Island Nets team defeated the Magic, picking up a rare commanding victory, 137-114.
Since Killian Hayes was called up by the Brooklyn Nets and signed a standard contract, Long Island knew they’d have big shoes to fill. Thankfully, they had reinforcements take the Long Island Expressway east from Brooklyn as Dariq Whitehead, Tosan Evbuomwan returned, and for the first time, Reece Beekman took the court in a Long Island uniform.
