Taurean Prince’s ‘first time’ as a Net — with Long Island

He wore a home jersey with “Nets” written across the front and played home games at Barclays Center. For Taurean Prince, acquired in an early June cap-clearing trade with the Hawks, this is his second time as a Net, but this time it’s as a Brooklyn Net. Back in 2016-17, he played five games as a Long Island Net.

How so? Atlanta at that point had no G League team (still the D League then) so if it wanted to give its younger talent minutes, he had to work out a deal with other teams who did have a G League affiliate .
