Wolf closed with 20 points (9-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 26 minutes in Saturday's 83-76 Summer League loss to the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

Wolf showed out offensively, matching teammate Chaney Johnson with a game-high 20 points. Coming off a rookie campaign in which he averaged 8.9 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 20.8 minutes per contest across 57 regular-season appearances (15 starts), Wolf will look to use the Summer League to sharpen his game and push for a larger role during the 2026-27 season. That opportunity may be harder to come by, however, after the Nets added Julius Randle at power forward this offseason.

Wolf (back) finished with nine points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block across 21 minutes in Friday's 91-65 Summer League win over the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

It wasn't a great performance from Wolf, but it was still an encouraging showing considering he wasn't available for the California Classic because of a back issue. The 22-year-old appeared in 57 regular-season games during his rookie 2025-26 campaign, and he averaged 10.2 points, 2.3 assists, 6.3 rebounds, 0.8 blocks and 0.7 steals over 26.0 minutes in 15 starts. Looking ahead to next season, Julius Randle, who was acquired from Minnesota in June, has a firm grasp on the power forward position, while Day'Ron Sharpe is the favorite to start at center. However, Wolf should have an opportunity to see consistent playing time in the rotation throughout the 2026-27 campaign.

Wolf (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's California Classic Summer League game against the Bucks, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Wolf didn't play in Saturday's 79-76 California Classic Summer League loss to the Kings due to lower-back soreness, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Dutch Gaitley said the Nets want to be smart about Wolf's availability in Summer League, and his next chance to play will come Sunday against the Bucks. The big man missed Brooklyn's final 11 regular-season games due to an ankle sprain, finishing the 2025-26 campaign with averages of 8.9 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.2 assists across 20.8 minutes per contest in 57 regular-season games (15 starts).

Wolf (ankle) is expected to open 2026-27 in a bench role after the Nets acquired Julius Randle ahead of Tuesday's draft.

EDGE Analysis

While Brooklyn did lose Nic Claxton (finger) in the Randle trade, the expectation is that Day'Ron Sharpe is sliding into the top center position next year. Wolf, a 2025 first-rounder, should have a chance to battle for that role in the Las Vegas Summer League as well as during training camp, though Sharpe does possess a veteran's advantage. The Nets also landed Joshua Jefferson near the end of the first round of the 2026 NBA Draft, leaving Wolf to vie with the newcomer as well as Noah Clowney (ankle) for playing time in the frontcourt.

The Nets announced Friday that Wolf (ankle) is being shut down for the rest of the season, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the Nets playing out the final string of a losing season, they're taking a cautious approach with the rookie first-rounder. Wolf showed promise at times in his first year, averaging 8.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 20.8 minutes per contest through 57 regular-season games (15 starts). With Wolf's campaign over, Noah Clowney, Josh Minott and Chaney Johnson should help pick up the slack at power forward.

Wolf (ankle) has no timetable for a return, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wolf remains in a walking boot due to a sprained left ankle, and the rebuilding Nets are unlikely to be in much of a hurry to push the rookie first-rounder back into the fray. The likes of Ziaire Williams, Drake Powell and Josh Minott should continue to soak up more playing time going forward.

Wolf (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Charlotte.

EDGE Analysis

Wolf will miss a fifth consecutive contest due to a left ankle sprain and continues to be ruled out a day in advance of tipoff. The rookie first-rounder's next chance to play will come Friday against the Hawks. In the meantime, Josh Minott and Jalen Wilson (illness) are candidates for increased playing time.

Wolf (ankle) won't play in Sunday's game against Sacramento.

EDGE Analysis

It will be Wolf's fourth consecutive absence. With the Nets going nowhere near the playoffs, the club will likely exercise caution with the rookie first-rounder. As far as Sunday's contest is concerned, Ziaire Williams should be considered a favorite to remain in the starting lineup.
