The Nets summer league entry takes the court in Las Vegas at 8:00 p.m. ET Friday vs. the Bucks. For the organization, its fans and the players, it’s normally an exciting time as the Nets young players get a chance to show their stuff. It’s also the first time fans see players in Nets uniforms since the playoffs.
Not this year. The continuing — and debilitating — drumbeat over Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving’s future has taken center stage in Vegas as well as everything else. There will be more interest in locating Sean Marks than in seeing what the young Nets do on the court.
