Powell (undisclosed) won't play in Sunday's California Classic Summer League game against the Bucks, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Nets' Drake Powell: Struggles in loss to Sacramento
Rotowire
Powell finished with four points (0-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal over 24 minutes in Saturday's 79-76 California Classic Summer League loss to the Kings.
Powell couldn't get anything going to begin the California version of Summer League. He went 0-for-9 from the field (0-for-5 from three-point range) while committing three turnovers. The 2025 No. 22 overall pick averaged 6.5 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.2 blocks and 0.6 steals across 21.0 minutes in 63 regular-season appearances in 2025-26. Although his first year wasn't the worst, he has more work to do in order to carve out a routine spot in the rotation heading into the 2026-27 campaign. His odds of accomplishing that won't improve unless he turns it around this summer.

Nets' Drake Powell: Muted effort in loss
Rotowire
Powell registered eight points (3-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one steal in 25 minutes during Sunday's 136-101 loss to the Raptors.
The rookie first-round pick had a mild effort to close out the regular season. Powell was used sparingly by the Nets, as he appeared in 63 games with averages of 6.5 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.8 three-pointers in 20.9 minutes. He was never close to being a consistent fantasy producer.

Nets' Drake Powell: Struggles with shot despite win
Rotowire
Powell finished with 11 points (4-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 40 minutes during Tuesday's 96-90 victory over the Bucks.
Powell had a woeful shooting performance, making just 25 percent of his attempts, and while his fantasy line was far from eye-popping, he managed to contribute in each of the five major categories. Powell has started every game he's been available for the Nets since March 9. However, his averages of 8.4 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game aren't particularly impressive, especially since he's also shooting 38.4 percent from the floor in that span.

Nets' Drake Powell: Logs 29 minutes in loss
Rotowire
Powell finished with six points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 29 minutes during Friday's 141-107 loss to Atlanta.
Powell played at least 28 minutes for the third straight game, seemingly earning himself a spot in the opening five. He has started 12 straight appearances, although during that stretch he has barely been a top-300 player. With averages of just 7.8 points and 1.3 three-pointers, fantasy managers are better off shifting their attention elsewhere.

Powell and Nolan Traore combined for 33 points as the Nets improved to 18-57 on the season. Although this was a step in the right direction, Powell remains difficult to trust with averages of 6.9 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.1 three-pointers in 24.5 minutes over his last seven games.

Nets' Drake Powell: Scores 10 points in blowout loss
Rotowire
Powell registered 10 points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound over 23 minutes during Tuesday's 138-100 loss to the Pistons.
Powell reached double-digit points for the first time since Feb. 9. However, he's been mostly a bench option for a struggling Nets team, and his overall production hasn't stood out even when he's received more minutes. Thus, his fantasy upside should remain fairly low until further notice, even though he's drawn two straight starts.

Nets' Drake Powell: Dispatched to G League
Rotowire
Brooklyn assigned Powell to the G League's Long Island Nets on Friday, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Long Island doesn't play its next game until Sunday, so Powell may just be sticking around in the G League to practice over the next couple of days. With Brooklyn playing a road game in Boston later Friday, Powell looks as though he won't be available for that contest. The Nets recalled Ben Saraf from the G League and could have him step into the rotation in place of Powell, who had appeared in each of the team's last 18 games and averaged 5.5 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 19.5 minutes per contest over that stretch.
