GAME P-7: Nets 110, Sixers 88
The Star Ledger
By Dave D'Alessandro
Near the bottom of this article about the performance of the Nets in pre-season play is this mention of the team playing in Newark. The move to Newark is presented as an interim move until an arena is built in Brooklyn, but looks suspiciously like a "Plan B" should those plans fall through.
If you missed it, Brett Yormark made his first official confirmation about the team’s willingness to play in Newark as the Atlantic Yards project is being built.
“After the master closing for our Brooklyn transaction this fall,” he said, “we may consider an agreement to play our home games at the Prudential Center through the time we move to our new home in Brooklyn in the 2011-12 NBA season.”
Right. You already knew that, but he just figured you needed to hear it.
