After a grueling practice on Friday, the Nets’ open practice at Brooklyn Bridge Park on Saturday served a dual purpose: a virtual recovery day for the tired players, and chance for the team to build some much-needed inroads in the community.
“It’s awesome,” guard Joe Harris said. “For us, we’re trying to be as involved in the Brooklyn community as possible, and that’s been a focal point from the moment [general manager] Sean [Marks] and [coach] Kenny [Atkinson] and everyone got here. We’re in Brooklyn, and while we’re here we’re going to make the most of it. We’re ingrained into the community.
