Despite making a late run at the end of the season, Long Island had too much of an uphill battle, and they couldn’t catch the Indiana Mad Ants in the standings and failed to make the G League playoffs. So they ended their season Saturday night at Nassau Coliseum losing 128-93 to the Cleveland Charge ... five of their players in Washington toiling for the big club.
Indeed, Long Island’s elimination led to a purging of the Long Island Nets roster. The big club called back their three two-way players, Reece Beekman, Tosan Evbuomwan, and Tyson Etienne, and signed Drew Timme to a standard two-year deal.
