Israeli guard Ben Sharf did not play a single minute in the Brooklyn Nets' 144-128 loss to the Miami Heat on Wednesday night, a concerning sign for his playing time in the upcoming 2026-2027 season. Sharf's teammate, Danny Wolf, saw 10 minutes of action, recording two rebounds and no points. This follows a pattern of limited minutes for Sharf in previous preseason games, with 15 minutes against Charlotte, 12 against Philadelphia, and 8 against Washington. Meanwhile, Michael Brown Jr., the Nets' sixth overall draft pick and Sharf's backcourt partner, made an impressive unofficial NBA debut. The 20-year-old guard scored 15 points, with 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals in 18 minutes. The Nets will begin their official NBA season in a week against Charlotte, leaving it uncertain whether Sharf will return to the team's rotation or if his benching will continue.
