The 2019-20 Brooklyn Nets season was marked by significant changes and challenges. Under the leadership of head coach Kenny Atkinson, who was later replaced by Jacque Vaughn in March 2020, the Nets finished the regular season with a 35-37 record, securing the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference. The team was without key offseason acquisitions Kevin Durant, who sat out the entire season due to an Achilles injury, and Kyrie Irving, who played only 20 games because of shoulder issues.
Despite the absence of their star players, the Nets managed to secure a playoff spot. In the NBA Bubble in Orlando, Brooklyn was eliminated in the first round by the Toronto Raptors, losing the series 4-0. The season was notable for the team’s resilience and the development of players like Caris LeVert and Jarrett Allen, who stepped up in the absence of the team’s primary stars.
- Regular Season Record: 35-37
