Brooklyn Nets jersey history No. 21 - Treveon Graham (2018-19)
The Brooklyn Nets have 52 jersey numbers worn by over 600 different players over the course of their history since the franchise was founded in 1967 as a charter member of the American Basketball Association (ABA), when the team was known as the "New Jersey Americans". Since then, that league has been absorbed by the NBA with the team that would later become the New York Nets and New Jersey Nets before settling on the name by which they are known today, bringing their rich player and jersey history with them to the league of today. To commemorate the players who played for the Nets over the decades wearing those 52 different jersey numbers, Nets Wire is covering the entire history of the franchise's jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. The 22nd of those 52 different numbers is jersey No. 21, which has has had a total of 26 players wear the number in the history of the team.

Bill Simmons drops wild NBA take after Seth Rollins' WWE SummerSlam cash-in
The post Bill Simmons drops wild NBA take after Seth Rollins' WWE SummerSlam cash-in appeared first on ClutchPoints. When Seth Rollins shocked the world by making his triumphant return to the WWE Universe at SummerSlam, cashing in his Money in the Bank contract to defeat CM Punk, it took the professional sporting world by storm. Weeks removed from suffering what some deemed a long-term knee injury, with b-roll walking around in crutches for good measure, Rollins showed that *spoiler alert* it was all a ruse, as he was capable of jogging down to the ring, beating down his rival, and executing a perfect curb stomp for the 1-2-3 mere minutes after Punk won the title off of Gunther. This strategy, faking an injury to earn a competitive advantage, got noted WWE fan Bill Simmons thinking: could an NBA team pull off a similar strategy? Taking to social media after the main event of SummerSlam Night 1, The Ringer head honcho laid out his case. Alright, so how would this work? Would a team like Simmons' beloved Boston Celtics boldly declare that Jayson Tatum was going to be out for the year, only to return for a choice playoff matchup against an unsuspecting rival? Or would an oft-injured player like Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid be listed as out, doubtful, or even just questionable for a game only to roll up ready for action, performing at the top of his game when others thought he'd be diminished? Unfortunately for Simmons, the NBA doesn't write their storylines in the same way WWE does, so that sort of magical moment almost certainly couldn't happen in the association. Still, how cool would it be if someone pulled it off, especially another noted WWE fan like Tyrese Haliburton, who is expected to miss the season with an Achilles injury.

Valkyries' five-game trek ends with a thud in blowout loss to Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS – Back to a .500 winning percentage the Golden State Valkyries go. The shorthanded expansion outfit capped the longest trip of its inaugural season Sunday afternoon with a 101-77 loss to the Las Vegas Aces at Michelob Ultra Arena. Already down All-Star forward Kayla Thornton, forward Cecilia Zandalasini and guard Monique Billings, Golden State played without guard Tiffany Hayes, scratched pregame with a left leg injury. Starting forward Janelle Salaün was also ejected with 3.3 seconds left in the first half after running through Aces guard Jewell Loyd in transition and garnering a flagrant 2 foul upon review. Iliana Rupert scored a team-high 17 for the Valkyries, who shot 34.2% – succumbing to fatigue compounded by the active, cohesive defense of Las Vegas. Golden State caps its five-game trip – that started last Sunday against the Connecticut Sun – with losses bookending three straight wins. Jewell Loyd made seven 3-pointers and scored 27 for Las Vegas, which overtook Golden State for seventh place in the WNBA. Aces star forward A'ja Wilson, the league's reigning MVP, added 14 points, 14 rebounds and four steals while standout wing Jackie Young provided 20 points and a team-high eight assists. The Valkyries improved Friday to 14-13 – they last had more wins than losses July 9-11 – by beating the Chicago Sky following wins over the Washington Mystics and Atlanta Dream. Their bid for a fourth consecutive win Sunday started with a 4-3 lead, but Las Vegas (15-14) intensified its defense and ignited its transition offense. Demolished Saturday by 53 points against the reigning runner-up Minnesota Lynx – the biggest margin of defeat in the WNBA since 1998 – Las Vegas cohesively coaxed Golden State into four first-quarter turnovers. Wilson both protected the rim and pestered the perimeter in ball screen actions, securing two first-quarter steals and setting the tempo the Aces maintained. A 27-14 end-of-the-first-quarter deficit mushroomed to 50-25 by halftime as the Valkyries missed 15 of 17 triples, shooting 26.5% from the field. Such a deficit was too much to overcome despite the usual inspired effort and 14 points apiece from Carla Leite and Laeticia Amihere. Golden State starts a three-game homestand Wednesday, also against Las Vegas.
