On November 1, 2022, Steve Nash was fired as the Nets' head coach after the team started the season with a 2–5 record and was replaced by Jacque Vaughn on an interim basis.[1][2] On November 9, Vaughn was named the new head coach.[3] On April 7, 2023, the Nets clinched a playoff spot after a 101–84 win against the Orlando Magic.[4] In the first round of the 2023 NBA playoffs, they faced the Philadelphia 76ers, losing the series 4–0.[5] It was the third time in four seasons that the Nets were swept in the first round of the playoffs (also in the 2020 and 2022 playoffs).[6] As of 2026, this remains the Nets latest playoff appearance.
Draft
The Nets did not hold any picks in the 2022 NBA draft.[7] This is because they have traded in 2021 their original first-round pick to the Houston Rockets as part of the James Harden four-team deal and their original second-round pick to the Detroit Pistons.[8]
