New York Knicks vs. Brooklyn Nets: NBA 2K25 Summer League rosters
New York Knicks Summer League Roster
Duane Washington led the Knicks in scoring with 26 points in the loss to the Charlotte Hornets. But it was rookie Tyler Kolek who turned heads with his all-around play. The Marquette product had a seven-point, seven-rebound and seven-assist night with zero turnovers. Coach Dice Yoshimoto will likely give them more opportunities against the Nets.
Two other rookies, Pacome Dadiet and Ariel Hukporti, are also getting significant playing time.

Brooklyn Nets Summer League Roster
Keon Johnson has had a superb Summer League campaign for the Nets. Johnson, drafted by the Knicks in 2021, nailed the game-winning basket in Brooklyn’s 97-95 win over the Indiana Pacers in his debut. He followed it up with a 27-point, six-rebound and four-steal output in the loss to the Clippers. Coach Steve Hetzel will likely give him the go-signal to make plays.
Jalen Wilson, a second-round pick by the Nets last year, has also shown signs of improvement in his game. He will get his opportunities to do more along with Johnson.

New York Knicks vs. Brooklyn Nets: Prediction
The Knicks’ roster includes players that are still very raw and might be a reason they will remain winless in Las Vegas. Both teams will not be concerned about a win. The coaches will concentrate on execution and identifying players who could contribute next season or develop in the G League.
