Tuesday’s Brooklyn subway shooting happened just blocks from the Nets’ practice facility as they prepared to face the Cavaliers.
10 of whom were shot, on a rush-hour subway train in Brooklyn Tuesday morning just blocks from the Nets’ training facility as they prepared for their play-in game against Cleveland. The manhunt for the shooter snarled traffic and had police helicopters flying overhead.
“They always text us when there’s traffic and get there little early, but I didn’t know the specific reason until I got into the building,” Kevin Durant said. “You see the helicopters … outside. You just want everything to work out and figure it out. The HSS Training Center is just a half-mile away — roughly five blocks — and a number of Nets staffers take the subway. All were accounted for Tuesday morning, and preparations for the Cavs went ahead as scheduled, albeit with something of a pall caused by the tragic and ongoing situation around the corner.
For example, Goran Dragic — who had cleared health and safety protocols and was available to play Tuesday night — was at the facility bright and early before the incident.
