The NBA schedule release is just around the corner, but the Brooklyn Nets already know some of their marquee dates for next season. After the NBA expectedly left the Nets off the schedule for opening night and Christmas Day, Brooklyn got a chance to see part of its schedule on Wednesday with the release of the full NBA Cup schedule. A few weeks ago, the NBA announced the groups for this year’s edition of the NBA Cup, which featured the Nets in East Group A. Yet to make it to the knockout rounds, the Nets will be looking to navigate their NBA Cup schedule and secure their first trip out of the group stage in 2026. As the team looks to earn its first trip to the postseason since 2023, getting some wins in NBA Cup play could be a catalyst for the Nets’ season.
