Beekman (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Knicks, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.
Beekman popped up on Saturday's injury report due to right calf soreness, and the injury is severe enough for him to be sidelined for Sunday's regular-season finale. With Beekman and D'Angelo Russell (ankle) both sidelined, Tyson Etienne could be in line to make his first career NBA start. Over his last five outings (four starts), Beekman averaged 5.4 points, 4.8 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 2.6 steals over 26.0 minutes per contest.

Nets' Reece Beekman: Working through calf soreness
Rotowire
Beekman is listed as questionable for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Knicks due to right calf soreness, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Beekman has started in the Nets' last four games, but he could miss Sunday's contest while working through a right calf issue. With D'Angelo Russell (ankle) already ruled out, Beekman's absence would open the door for Tyson Etienne to see more playing time, potentially in a starting role.

Nets' Reece Beekman: Makes defensive impact again
Rotowire
Beekman racked up 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and three steals over 32 minutes during Friday's 117-91 loss to the Timberwolves.
Making his fourth straight start for the Nets, the undrafted rookie once again made his presence felt at the defensive end of the court. Beekman has recorded three steals in four of the last five games, and during his run in the starting five he's averaging 6.3 points, 5.5 assists, 2.8 boards and 2.5 steals in 28.0 minutes.

Nets' Reece Beekman: Game-high 10 dimes in win
Rotowire
Beekman ended with zero points (0-3 FG), four rebounds, 10 assists and three steals over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 119-114 win over the Pelicans.
Although Beekman was held scoreless Tuesday, he was able to dish out a game-high 10 assists while playing a passive role on offense. With the Nets missing several key contributors, it wouldn't be surprising to see Beekman remain in the starting lineup during the final week of the season. Beekman has registered at least five assists, four rebounds and three steals in both of his starting appearances thus far.

Nets' Reece Beekman: Two-way performance in first start
Rotowire
Beekman contributed 14 points (6-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists and three steals over 36 minutes during Sunday's 120-109 loss to Toronto.
Beekman got his first career start Sunday with D'Angelo Russell (ankle) out and Brooklyn shorthanded, lifting the Nets on both ends of the floor while leading all players in scoring, assists and steals in a losing effort. Beekman's points were a season-high figure, and he also matched season-best marks in rebounds, assists and steals.

Nets' Reece Beekman: Making first career start
Rotowire
Beekman will start Sunday's game against the Raptors, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.
Beekman has been a consistent part of Brooklyn's rotation but played 18 minutes against the Timberwolves on Thursday, posting two points, two rebounds, two assists and three steals. With the Nets shorthanded once again, including an absence to D'Angelo Russell (ankle), Beekman will draw his first career start and should handle a sizable role against the Raptors, who'll also be without multiple starters.

Nets' Reece Beekman: Back in rotation Monday
Rotowire
Beekman logged three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound over nine minutes during Monday's 111-108 win over the Lakers.
Beekman was back in the rotation, albeit for just nine minutes. After playing a somewhat consistent role through the months of January and February, this was just the second time Beekman has suited up since the calendar flipped to March. In 28 games played this season, Beekman is averaging just 2.0 points and 1.2 assists.

Nets' Reece Beekman: Logs career-high 27 minutes
Rotowire
Beekman registered three points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and three steals in 27 minutes during Saturday's 115-94 loss to the Pistons.
Beekman played a career-high 27 minutes, although his numbers tell a different story. Despite the increased playing time, Beekman had no real impact, a worrying trend given he has failed to score double-digits all season. He does provide the Nets with a defensive presence, something that could at least keep him on the floor down the stretch of the season.

Nets' Reece Beekman: Logs 22 minutes Tuesday
Rotowire
Beekman amassed two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and two steals over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 99-97 win over the Rockets.
Beekman played at least 20 minutes for the second time in his past four games. However, he has also been a DNP-CD in two of the past five games, as the Nets continue to shuffle their rotation on a nightly basis. While he could step into a consistent role at some point, Beekman is likely to remain on the fringe of the rotation, at least for the foreseeable future.

Nets' Reece Beekman: Back in rotation Monday
Rotowire
Beekman finished Monday's 110-96 loss to the Kings with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and two assists across 12 minutes.
Beekman was back in the rotation, continuing a recent pattern not dissimilar to his teammates. The Nets are chopping and changing their rotation on a nightly basis, making it hard to know who will be playing and how much they will be playing. Unless we see a change in their mentality, Beekman is likely to remain on the fringes of the rotation until further notice.

Nets' Reece Beekman: Rare appearance in loss
Rotowire
Beekman finished with one point (1-2 FT) and one assist across four minutes during Wednesday's 130-113 loss to the Raptors.
Beekman moved back into the rotation, logging fewer than five minutes for the fourth time in six games since joining the Nets. Moved as part of the Dennis Schroder deal, Beekman has remained on the fringe of the rotation despite the change of location. At this point, there is no reason to think that his role will increase any time soon.

Nets' Reece Beekman: Headed to Brooklyn
Rotowire
The Nets acquired Beekman, De'Anthony Melton (knee) and three future second-round draft picks from the Warriors on Sunday in exchange for Dennis Schroder and a 2025 second-round draft pick.
With the move to Brooklyn, Beekman will fill the two-way spot vacated by Yongxi Cui's (knee), who was waived in a corresponding move. Beekman has made two appearances at the NBA level for Golden State, totaling only four minutes. However, he may have more playing time available in Brooklyn, especially if the Nets remain active in the trade market. Beekman won't be available to make his Nets debut in Monday's game against the Cavaliers, according to Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com.
The Warriors signed Beekman to a two-way contract Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
As a two-way player, Beekman will split time between the Warriors and their G League affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors. As a senior for Virginia in 2023-24, Beekman averaged 14.3 points, 6.2 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 32.8 minutes across 34 games.
