Newcomers like Mikal Bridges and Cameron Johnson provided fresh energy and performed well under head coach Jacque Vaughn. In the playoffs, the Nets faced the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round but were swept 4-0, highlighting a need for further rebuilding. This season underscored the volatility of the franchise, with major changes on and off the court shaping its future trajectory.
