Game log

Preseason

During the previous season, it was announced that the Nets and Phoenix Suns would play two of their preseason games at the Venetian Arena in Macau, with the Nets being named the road team in those games.[3] These games would represent a return to the Chinese mainland area for not just the Nets franchise, but also the NBA as a whole for the first time since the 2019 preseason period back when the Nets played against the Los Angeles Lakers before China boycotted the NBA for a few seasons due to comments that Daryl Morey (the Houston Rockets' general manager at the time) made involving the nation regarding the 2019–20 Hong Kong protests at the time.[4][5]
