Brooklyn Nets: Player grades from Christmas Eve eve win over Suns

We get it. Theo Pinson was seeing his first game action for the parent Brooklyn Nets playing four minutes against the Washington Wizards on Dec. 1 and was in just his fourth NBA game overall.

Pinson, on a two-way contract with the Nets, had played in every game for the Long Island Nets in the NBA G League prior to being brought back to Brooklyn while the Long Island club participated in the G League’s Winter Showcase in Las Vegas last week.

But coming into the game and almost immediately firing up a 30-footer? Not the best of looks.

Inactives

• Allen Crabbe (sore right knee)
• Caris LeVert (subtalar dislocation, right foot)
• Dzanan Musa (left shoulder subluxation)
• Alan Williams (Long Island Nets, two-way)

Did not dress

• Treveon Graham (left hamstring strain)

Did not play-coach’s decision

• Kenneth Faried (25th DNP-CD in 34 games dressed)
