After dropping a career-high 40 points in the G League on Monday afternoon, the Nets are recalling rookie Ben Saraf.
Saraf, one of Brooklyn’s five first-round picks in the 2025 NBA Draft (No. 26 overall), was dominant for the Long Island Nets in their 116-97 win over the Oklahoma City Blue in the NBA G League Winter Showcase.

The point guard shot 54 percent in the scoring outburst, going 14-for-26 from the field, including 6-for-10 from three. He also added in six rebounds, four assists, and a steal.
Saraf does have a right ankle sprain, but is being listed as probable for Tuesday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
The rookie has played in just 12 NBA games so far with five starts. In those limited minutes (16.9 per game), he’s averaging 5.4 points, 2.8 assists, and 1.6 rebounds per game.
With Cam Thomas still sidelined due to a hamstring injury, Saraf will look to make the most of his opportunities and hope his scoring can translate to the association.
