The Brooklyn Nets suffered another setback on January 18, 2026, dropping their latest matchup against the Chicago Bulls. The defeat extended the team’s record to 0-for-the-season in games played without forward Michael Porter Jr., who was again unavailable.
The Nets struggled to generate momentum throughout the contest and “showed little fight,” allowing Chicago to take control early and hold the advantage the rest of the way. The loss keeps Brooklyn searching for its first victory without Porter Jr. in the lineup this season.
No timetable has been provided for Porter Jr.’s return, leaving the Nets facing continued uncertainty as they look to end their slide in the coming games.
