Nets' E.J. Liddell: Logs 17 points in season finale
Rotowire
Liddell fouled out of Sunday's 136-101 loss to the Raptors after recording 17 points (5-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 27 minutes.
With Nic Claxton (finger) and Noah Clowney (ankle) on the sidelines, the third-year journeyman took on a larger role and finished with a decent line. Liddell is on his third NBA team in three seasons, although he's had the most success with the Nets. Liddell's future with the team depends heavily on what the Nets do in the draft and how they approach the trade market in the offseason.

Nets' E.J. Liddell: Booted from Friday's game
Rotowire
Liddell was ejected from Friday's game against the Bucks after being assessed a Flagrant 2 foul, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Liddell was tagged with the Flagrant 2 foul early in the fourth quarter for smacking Jericho Sims in the face with the forearm. Liddell will end his night with 13 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3PT, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 32 minutes. Chaney Johnson could see some additional run time the rest of the way due to Liddell's absence.

Nets' E.J. Liddell: Career-high 26 points in loss
Rotowire
Liddell logged 26 points (10-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist in 37 minutes during Thursday's 123-94 loss to the Pacers.
Liddell started a third consecutive contest for the injury-riddled Nets and made the most of the opportunity. After scoring 21 points in Tuesday's win over Milwaukee, the two-way player erupted for a career-high 26 points against Indiana, matching the game-high mark. He also led Brooklyn with a career high in rebounds, securing his first career double-double. It's unclear if Nic Claxton (finger) and Noah Clowney (ankle) will return this season, so Liddell may continue to operate in an expanded role.

Nets' E.J. Liddell: Scores season-high 21 points
Rotowire
Liddell closed Tuesday's 96-90 victory over the Bucks with 21 points (7-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 21 minutes.
Liddell made the most of his playing time in Tuesday's win over Milwaukee, missing just two of his nine shots from the floor en route to posting his best scoring output of the campaign. Liddell could be a name to watch in the final days of the regular season. He has started in the Nets' last two games, playing at least 20 minutes and scoring at least 15 points each time.

Nets' E.J. Liddell: Fares well in start
Rotowire
Liddell chipped in 15 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 30 minutes during Sunday's 121-115 victory over Washington.
Liddell recorded a season-high 15 points in his first start of the campaign. With the Nets so thin up front, Liddell may continue to see a healthy amount of minutes for the final four games of the regular season, making him worth a look as a streamer.

Nets' E.J. Liddell: Starting Sunday
Rotowire
Liddell is starting Sunday versus the Wizards, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
This will be Liddell's first start of the season, and he could receive heavy minutes as one of the last men standing in Brooklyn's frontcourt. Per 36 minutes this season, Liddell has averaged 9.8 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.2 triples and 1.4 blocks per game.

Nets' E.J. Liddell: Hands out four assists off bench
Rotowire
Liddell notched one point (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 28 minutes during Sunday's 126-122 loss to the Kings.
The two-way player is seeing fairly steady action for the Nets, appearing in seven of their last eight contests. With Michael Porter (hamstring) out for multiple weeks, the door is open for Liddell to seize a more prominent role. That said, he has averaged just 3.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.9 blocks in 14.0 minutes per game over his last eight outings for Brooklyn.

Nets' E.J. Liddell: Rejoining parent club
Rotowire
Liddell will be recalled from the G League's Long Island Nets ahead of Sunday's game against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Liddell, a two-way player, has appeared in just eight games at the NBA level this season. He'll add some depth to the frontcourt with Noah Clowney (back) listed doubtful for Sunday's contest, but Liddell isn't a good bet to be included in Brooklyn's rotation.

Nets' E.J. Liddell: Makes third appearance in loss
Rotowire
Liddell ended Friday's 125-107 loss to Detroit with two points (1-2 FG) and one rebound in five minutes.
Liddell moved into the rotation for just the third time this season, with all appearances yielding no more than six minutes of playing time. Although on paper, Brooklyn is a good landing spot for someone like Liddell, it doesn't appear as though he is going to feature on a nightly basis at this point.

E.J. Liddell: Signs two-way contract with Nets
Rotowire
The Nets signed Liddell to a two-way contract Wednesday, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Liddell made 12 brief regular-season appearances for the Bulls in 2024-25, averaging 4.4 minutes per game, and he'll get his next chance with Brooklyn in 2025-26. Given the two-way deal, the 2023 second-rounder is likely to spend most of his time with the G League's Long Island Nets while the parent club is healthy. Liddell most recently participated in the Las Vegas Summer League with the Nuggets, averaging 7.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in 23.4 minutes covering four outings.
Liddell (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against the Raptors.
After missing the past two games for Chicago, Liddell is no longer on the injury report. The Bulls could be shorthanded Tuesday, meaning Liddell could be called upon to fill a light role in the rotation.

Rotowire
Liddell (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Raptors.

Bulls' E.J. Liddell: Sits out Friday with sore knee
Rotowire
Liddell wasn't available Friday in the Bulls' 109-95 win over the Hornets due to a sore left knee.
Liddell is a two-way player who hasn't been a regular part of the rotation at the NBA level this season, but the Bulls likely would have wanted to have him on hand as frontcourt depth while center Nikola Vucevic (illness) missed Friday's contest. Assuming Vucevic's illness isn't a long-term concern and he's able to return to the lineup in the coming days, Liddell probably won't be needed to fill minutes once he moves past his knee issue.

Rotowire
Liddell (elbow) is available for Friday's game against the Hawks.
Liddell is available for Friday's contest but isn't expected to make a big impact in fantasy. He's made just two appearances all season long, and it would be fair to say he's currently out of the Bulls' regular rotation.
