Prudential Center
The arena was originally intended to be the home of the New Jersey Nets, but YankeeNets sold the team to Bruce Ratner, who decided he would relocate the Nets to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. However, the construction of the arena was plagued by lawsuits and economic issues during the recession. In the fall of 2009, the Nets played two preseason games at the Prudential Center, while considering a possible move there. After the success of the preseason games at the Prudential Center, the Nets finalized a deal to move to the Prudential Center. The team played for two seasons at the venue before the Barclays Center was completed in 2012 and the team officially relocated to Brooklyn. The final NBA event at the Prudential Center before the Nets' move to Brooklyn was the 2012 NBA Draft, held on June 28, 2012.
Mitch Creek
On 20 August 2018, Creek signed a non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 deal with the Brooklyn Nets. On 12 October 2018, Creek was waived by the Nets after appearing in one preseason game. Ten days later, he was acquired by Brooklyn's NBA G League affiliate, the Long Island Nets. On 25 January 2019, he signed a 10-day contract with the Brooklyn Nets. He made his NBA debut later that day, entering the game against the New York Knicks to take free throws for an injured Rondae Hollis-Jefferson in the fourth quarter, making one of them.
