Nets Rookie Saraf Out With Illness
14 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Rookie guard Ben Saraf is sidelined due to illness.
- Saraf has split time between the G League and the NBA.
- His absence may lead to increased minutes for other players.
The Brooklyn Nets will be without rookie guard Ben Saraf for their upcoming game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday, as he has been sidelined due to illness. This marks another absence for the young player, who was also unavailable for Friday's matchup with the Dallas Mavericks.
Saraf, 19, has seen action with both the Nets and their G League affiliate, the Long Island Nets, this season. While he has been a part of head coach Jordi Fernandez's rotation at times, his G League stats show averages of 12.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 4.0 assists. In his NBA appearances, he has averaged 5.4 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 2.8 assists.
With Saraf out, the Nets anticipate increased playing time for players such as Tyrese Martin, Danny Wolf, and Nolan Traore, who can help fill the backup point guard role. This development comes as the Nets prepare to face a Bucks team potentially without Giannis Antetokounmpo, offering a possible opportunity for these players to gain valuable experience.
