The last time Nets made run for Julius Randle before this season

Brooklyn nearly pursued Julius Randle back in 2019 before ultimately securing Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Years later, Randle has finally joined the Nets, contributing 23 points, six rebounds, and five assists in a recent 125-121 loss to the Cavaliers.

He now shares the distinction of recording at least 20 points, five rebounds, and five assists in his first two games of the season with James Harden.

During the contest, Egor Demin and Mikel Brown Jr. played four minutes together in the final quarter, helping the team produce a 14-2 scoring burst.

Coach Jordi Fernandez remained noncommittal regarding future plans for the duo, emphasizing that his rotation decisions are dictated by the flow of the game rather than pre-planned lineups.
