The Long Island Nets are an American professional basketball team in the NBA G League based in Uniondale, New York, and are affiliated with the Brooklyn Nets. The team plays its home games at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. The Nets became the twelfth Development League team to be owned by an NBA team when it was announced in 2015.
History In June 2015, the Brooklyn Nets announced their intentions to purchase a D-League affiliate. The team announced on November 5, 2015, that they reached an agreement for their new D-League team, called the Long Island Nets, to play in a renovated Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, which was the home of the Nets during their ABA years. However, due to renovations, the new team played in their parent team's home, Barclays Center, for their first season.
On March 24, 2016, the Nets hired Alton Byrd as the vice president of business operations. On April 15, 2016, Ronald Nored was hired as the team's head coach and on August 23, 2016, Ryan Gomes and Pat Rafferty were announced as assistant coaches. On November 12, 2016, the Nets won their first game after defeating the Canton Charge 120–118.
While continuing to play and brand as Long Island, the team would also begin a series of "home" games played at Place Bell in Laval, Quebec under the alternate brand Les Nets Montreal beginning in the 2025 season, following a partnership between Nets ownership and the Molson family, who operate the Laval facility for their Montreal Canadiens minor league affiliate the Laval Rocket.Long Island Nets Get Montreal Makeover for Six in 2025NBA G League's Long Island Nets to Return to Laval in 2026
