Nets fired Steve Nash today. No idea what that means for Yuta

I know that GM Sean Marks and interim coach Jacques Vaughn are high on Yuta. Hope that's a good sign.

And they are dealing with this crap. Maybe Yuta can become a diva and demand a trade?

If a player promoted birth of a nation or a movie that blames Black people for the Holocaust, I suspect the league would do something rather than ignore it like they are doing with Kyrie.

For those not watching the games: As much of a shit show Brooklyn is right now, Yuta is totally making the most of his opportunity! In the last couple games he's been a 6th/7th man and playing critical minutes in close games. Defense is really setting him apart. If he could create shots off the dribble he would be a guaranteed starter. Most of his points are opportunistic put backs or open 3's.

Fantastic performance for Yuta, I'd suspect his chase down block is getting a top 10 Sportscenter

Nets are in town playing the Wizards tomorrow night. Hope CC and the gang showed Yuta all the love.

DCに来たついでに久々にGW大学に訪れたら、英語も喋れない中で勉強がとにかく大変で必死だった事、毎晩欠かさずにやった一人でのシューティング、なかなか勝てないのが悔しくて試合後のロッカールームで一人ずっと泣いてた事など思い出して泣きそうになった。そして全部が今に繋がってる。
TRANSLATED FROM JAPANESE
When I visited GW University for the first time in a long time after coming to DC, I almost cried because I remembered how hard and desperate I was to study because I couldn't speak English, how I shot alone every night, and how I cried all the time in the locker room after the game because I was frustrated that I couldn't win easily. And everything is connected to the present.

As some of you have pointed out, the Brooklyn Nets season keeps getting worse and worse, they aren't playing well as a team, Ben Simmons appears to be a shell of his former self, Steve Nash gets fired after 5 games, its rumored that they are going to hire Ime Udoka and Kyrie has gone Kyrie!! I think it's possible that Kyrie could be suspended for the season at this point. We're all happy that these events should open the door for Yuta to get more opportunities, but this can't be a pleasant experience for Yuta! However this season this plays out for the Brooklyn Nets, Yuta will have a very interesting story to tell in the future about his 2022-2023 season in the NBA!

Well, I stand corrected. The nets (not the nba) suspended him indefinitely and put out a strong statement. I still think they would have moved faster if a play was super racist instead of anti-Semitic, but they did the right thing.
Hopefully Yuta can keep showing off his skills and keep improving. He belongs in the NBA, on the court.

Great picture!
Says a lot about Yuta. Gotta help with players and recruiting to have someone who's playing
significant NBA minutes come visit.
Hope his teammates pass to him in scoring position for a change, and Yuta shoots well tonight.
He has earned his place, no matter what happens in this game or a few games. A smart, great-defening
valuable player. And amidst all their dysfunction, the Nets realize it.
One writer even referred to Yuta's signing as a potential "steal" for the Nets.

Awesome photo!
HUGE game for Yuta, electric performance tonight

I went to the Wiz-Nets Game last nite
it was terrible - if you are a Wizards Fan - as they lost by 42
Yuta first entered the game with 2:19 left in Q1 and left about halfway thru Q2
Nets were missing
Kyrie as well as Ben Simmons and Seth Curry due to injuries
as a result Yuta got a lot of playing time and ended up with 14 points
they return in December
Online!
Is our tallest coach maybe 6'1? Can they coach big men? Or maybe Yuta got taller?
Offline
Yuta looked bigger and stronger than when he was a student .
how much in wight and height? I have no idea.

I believe that was the worst home loss in Wizards/Bullets franchise history!! Was it just a coincidence that the Nets played their best game of the season the day after they suspended Kyrie? The Nets play again tonight in Charlotte, so we'll see if they can keep this up. Yuta was matched up against fellow countrymen Rui Hachimura as soon as he checked into the game, they looked to be very good friends.

Yuta is at it again for The Nets tonight
Looks fantastic yet again, draining 3's, disruptive defense, feeding Durant the rock for dimes.
Yuta helped power a 22-7 run at the end of the game for another comeback win
