Israeli guard Ben Scherf did not play a single minute in the Brooklyn Nets' 144-128 preseason loss to the Miami Heat on Wednesday night. Scherf, who is preparing for the 2026-2027 season, was notably absent from the court for the entire 48 minutes of the game. This follows a pattern of limited playing time in previous preseason matches, where Scherf received 15 minutes against Charlotte, 12 minutes against Philadelphia, and 8 minutes against Washington.
Meanwhile, Scherf's teammate Danny Wolf played 10 minutes in the game, recording 2 rebounds and no points. In contrast, Michael Brown Jr., the sixth pick in the recent draft and a backcourt partner of Scherf's, made a strong unofficial NBA debut. The 20-year-old guard played 18 minutes, scoring 15 points, along with 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals.
The Brooklyn Nets are set to begin their official NBA season in one week against the Charlotte Hornets. It remains to be seen whether Scherf will be included in the rotation for the regular season or if his current trend of limited play will continue.
