Powell finished with nine points (4-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 13 minutes during Tuesday's 124-90 preseason win over the Hornets.

Powell didn't commit a turnover and made the most of his limited opportunities, connecting on four of his six attempts from the field. The young wing will look to use the preseason to strengthen his case for a spot in Brooklyn's rotation after a tough 2025-26 campaign.

Mann finished with six points (2-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two steals and one assist in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 124-90 preseason win over Charlotte.

Mann received the most playing time of any Brooklyn reserve and provided some two-way production despite a quiet scoring night. The veteran wing should remain in the mix for a reserve role as the Nets sort through a deep group of perimeter options.

Steinbach finished with seven points (2-4 FG, 3-4 FT) and four rebounds in 14 minutes during Tuesday's 124-90 preseason loss to Brooklyn.

Steinbach grabbed one offensive rebound and didn't commit a turnover during his limited action. The young big will look to make the most of his preseason opportunities as he competes for frontcourt minutes. He's currently projected to win the backup center job.
