Brooklyn Nets jersey history No. 21 - Antoine Wright (2005-08)
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. The 15th of those players wearing No. 21 played in the (then) New Jersey (now, Brooklyn) Nets era, wing alum Antoine Wright. After ending his college career at Texas A&M, Wright was picked up with the 15th overall selection of the 2005 NBA Draft by the Nets. The West Covina, California native would play parts of the first three seasons of his pro career with New Jersey before he was dealt to the Dallas Mavericks in 2008. During his time suiting up for the Nets, Wright wore only jersey No. 21 and put up 4.6 points and 2.3 rebounds per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.

X-Ray Results Are In For WNBA Star Breanna Stewart
X-Ray Results Are In For WNBA Star Breanna Stewart originally appeared on The Spun. Saturday's game was worrisome for the New York Liberty and their fans after seven-time All-Star Breanna Stewart exited with what appeared to a lower leg injury in the first quarter of the team's 101-99 loss to the LA Sparks. It wasn't clear in the moment what caused to the two-time MVP to be in pain but whatever it was it was enough for Stewart to motion towards the bench to get her out of the game and she never returned. The Liberty just got Jonquel Jones back so having Stewie out of the lineup would be a massive loss for the reigning WNBA champs. Stewart has barely missed any time since coming to Brooklyn. But she did tear her Achilles back in 2019 before having to undergo a touch-up operation a few seasons later. The New York Post's Madeline Kenney had a positive update on Sunday though, with the result of Stewart's recent X-rays: "Breanna Stewart had imaging done on her right leg which showed she avoided significant injury after exiting last night's game," Kenney reported. "She'll be with the Liberty on this four-game road trip, but the team plans to give her time to fully recover." Hopefully Breanna is able to make a full and quick recovery and doesn't miss too much time with a grueling 12-game stretch coming up. The Liberty finish out the month with games against Dallas Wings and Minnesota Lynx on Monday and Wednesday after posting an Eastern Conference leading 17-7 record to this point.X-Ray Results Are In For WNBA Star Breanna Stewart first appeared on The Spun on Jul 27, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 27, 2025, where it first appeared.

Fever star Caitlin Clark's injury situation remains uncertain
The post Fever star Caitlin Clark's injury situation remains uncertain appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Indiana Fever are back in action Tuesday night after the 2025 WNBA All-Star break, but they are still missing the services of superstar point guard Caitlin Clark on the floor. The former Iowa Hawkeyes sharpshooter remains sidelined by a groin injury that has now forced her to miss two games in a row. Before Tuesday's game against the reigning WNBA champions New York Liberty at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, Fever head coach Stephanie White said that there is still no update on Clark's status, according to Chloe Peterson of The Indianapolis Star. Peterson also noted that Clark met with a different doctor on Tuesday, though, White has no update regarding what was talked about in that meeting. Clark suffered the groin injury late in the Fever's showdown against the Connecticut Sun on July 15. Injuries have been a major thorn in the side of Clark and the Fever in the 2025 WNBA season. She missed five games earlier in the campaign because of a left quad sprain. Clark returned from that injury on June 14 versus the Liberty, scoring 32 points with nine assists and eight rebounds to help the Fever pull off an upset. Weeks later, Clark was diagnosed with a groin injury, which she re-aggravated in the aforementioned matchup versus the Sun. Caitlin Clark, who also missed seeing action in the WNBA All-Star game for Team Clark, is dealing with cold shooting as well. In the 13 games she's played so far in the regular season, Clark averaged 16.5 points but shot just 36.7 percent from the field. Known for her ability to drain shots from long range, Clark hasn't been exactly living up to that reputation this season, as she's making only 27.9 percent of her attempts from behind the arc. Nevertheless, the Fever are missing a key piece when Clark is unable to suit up. For now, Indiana will look to rely more on the likes of Aari McDonald and Sydney Colson to help out Kelsey Mitchell in the backcourt. Aliyah Boston and Natasha Howard will also have expanded roles on the floor, particularly on offense. Looking ahead, the Fever will face the Las Vegas Aces at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indiana this coming Thursday and the Chicago Sky at United Center in Chicago next Monday.
