Nets' Ben Saraf: Logs seven assists in loss
Saraf recorded 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), seven assists and one block across 29 minutes in Saturday's 116-99 loss to the Bucks.
Saraf missed about two weeks of action due to a left ankle sprain before being cleared to return ahead of Friday's 115-103 loss to the 76ers. He didn't crack the rotation for that contest, but with Egor Demin (foot) sitting out Saturday's game, Saraf was able to pick up some major minutes in his first appearance for the Nets since Nov. 11. Though he came through with an efficient showing from the field while logging a team-high assist total, Saraf could nonetheless find himself back outside of the rotation if Demin returns for Brooklyn's next game Monday versus the Hornets.

Nets' Ben Saraf: Available to play
Saraf (ankle) will be available for Friday's game against the 76ers, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Saraf, who hasn't played for the Nets since Nov. 11, could find himself in the rotation Friday with the team shorthanded due to injuries. He's only worth monitoring in very deep formats for now.

Nets' Ben Saraf: Upgraded to questionable
Saraf (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable ahead of Friday's game against the 76ers, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Saraf hasn't played for the Nets since Nov. 11, when he scored two points across two minutes off the bench in a 119-109 loss. The questionable tag suggests a decision on Saraf's status will be made closer to Friday's 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff, but even if he's upgraded, he's not expected to play a big role for Brooklyn.

Nets' Ben Saraf: Sidelined with ankle injury
Brooklyn recalled Saraf from the G League's Long Island Nets on Monday after the team announced that he will be sidelined at least 10 days due to a left ankle sprain, Meghan Triplett of YES Network reports.
Saraf tweaked his ankle while playing for Long Island on Saturday. The rookie had started in the Nets' first five games of the season but has fallen out of the rotation ever since, appearing in just two of Brooklyn's last eight contests while logging six minutes in total.

Nets' Ben Saraf: Assigned to G League
Brooklyn assigned Saraf to the G League's Long Island Nets on Thursday.
Saraf has fallen out of Brooklyn's rotation in recent games, so this move makes a lot of sense for the rookie.

Nets' Ben Saraf: Returns from G League
The Nets recalled Saraf from the G League's Long Island Nets on Monday, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
With Long Island not scheduled to play again until Friday, Saraf will rejoin the parent club and should be available for Brooklyn's next game Tuesday versus the Raptors, though he's not guaranteed to be included in the rotation. The rookie first-round pick from Israel had struggled over his six appearances at the NBA level prior to being assigned to Long Island last week, averaging 3.5 points, 2.7 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 15.7 minutes per game while shooting 23.1 percent from the field. While Saraf was away from the team and playing with Long Island for the first two games of the G League season, the Nets turned to Terance Mann and Tyrese Martin to serve as their primary facilitators behind starting point guard Egor Demin.

Nets' Ben Saraf: Doesn't see floor Sunday
Saraf did not see the floor in Sunday's 129-105 loss to the 76ers.
After a tough start to his rookie season, the Nets went in a different direction Sunday -- Tyrese Martin started and saw 27 minutes, though he did have a tough outing. Saraf is currently off the fantasy radar in standard formats.

Nets' Ben Saraf: Demoted from starting unit
Saraf won't start Sunday's game against the 76ers, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
Saraf started at point guard in each of his first five NBA games, but the rookie was held scoreless twice in his last three appearances. Tyrese Martin will start at point guard, with Saraf and fellow rookie Egor Demin competing for backup minutes.

Nets' Ben Saraf: Fails to score in start
Saraf provided zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 12 minutes during Wednesday's 117-112 loss to Atlanta.
Saraf started for the fifth straight game to open the season, failing to score for the second time in the past three games. Despite the starting tag, Saraf has been anything but when it comes to production. He has scored a total of 16 points thus far, adding two three-pointers and two steals. He should not be on any rosters outside of very deep formats.

Nets' Ben Saraf: Dishes career-high five assists
Saraf was not able to score (0-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) in Sunday's 118-107 loss to San Antonio but added five assists, a rebound and a steal across 15 minutes.
Saraf was able to reach an early career high in assists despite not scoring. While he has drawn the start at point guard over fellow rookie Egor Demin, it is worth noting that Demin has played more minutes and scored more points in all three games to start the season thus far.

Nets' Ben Saraf: Looks good in debut
Saraf registered eight points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds and four assists in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 136-117 loss to Charlotte.
Saraf drew the start at point guard for Opening Night and showcased some solid upside despite some struggles shooting the ball. The bad news for Saraf is that Egor Demin was even more impressive, finishing with 14 points, five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 22 minutes. Although both players are in a heated battle for playing time, it's fair to wonder whether they will get the chance to play alongside each other as well in what will be a developmental season for the team.

Nets' Ben Saraf: Starting vs. Charlotte
Saraf is starting Wednesday's season opener against the Hornets, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
The rookie first-rounder will get the nod over Egor Demin for Opening Night. Saraf and Demin will likely remain in a heated competition for the starting job going forward.

Nets' Ben Saraf: Starting preseason finale
Saraf will start Friday's preseason finale against the Raptors.
Saraf will replace Nolan Traore, who started Brooklyn's previous two preseason games. Fellow rookie Egor Demin is also available to make his preseason debut and will see minutes at point guard.

Nets' Ben Saraf: Eleven dimes off bench Sunday
Saraf scored four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and added 11 assists, four rebounds and a steal in 22 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 111-109 preseason win over the Suns in Macao.
The rookie point guard flashed some impressive distribution skills, as no other player in the game managed more than five assists in the contest. Saraf, the 26th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, is beginning to make a strong case to be the Opening Night starter at the point while the Nets wait for eighth overall pick Egor Demin (foot) to get healthy.

Nets' Ben Saraf: Active at foul line off bench
Saraf finished with nine points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one rebound and one steal in 19 minutes during Friday's preseason loss to the Suns.
The Nets took a look at Nolan Traore in the starting lineup Friday, which meant Saraf moved to the second unit. However, Saraf ended up logging more minutes than Traore, and the former was also more active on the offensive end of the floor. Both rookie guards will likely cede the starting spot once Egor Demin (foot) is ready to suit up, but Traore and Saraf remain in a heated competition for a backup role.

Nets' Ben Saraf: Dishes out six assists Saturday
Saraf supplied nine points (4-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and six assists across 18 minutes in Saturday's 123-88 exhibition game win over Hapoel Jerusalem.
Saraf got the starting nod in his preseason debut, dishing out a game-high mark in assists. The 19-year-old has a chance to carve out a role on a rebuilding Nets squad this season, especially if Egor Demin (foot) misses time to start the regular season. The No. 26 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, Saraf averaged 12.3 points, 4.3 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game with Ratiopharm in 2024-25.
