The Long Island Nets were already setting the world on fire entering Sunday’s matinee game with the Cleveland Charge.
Then they got reinforcements ... and their eighth straight win in downtown Cleveland.
Two-way player David Duke Jr., who’s spent time with Brooklyn’s G League squad, headed to Cleveland from Brooklyn. Duke was joined Sunday by rookie center Day’Ron Sharpe, who was on assignment from the Nets after starting eight games with Brooklyn.
After struggling with various injuries and availability issues all year, Brooklyn has finally regained its depth, allowing the two youngsters to get minutes and development time in the G League.
