Salt Lake City: Tosan Evbuomwan might be new to the NBA, but he’s really making a name for himself. He scored a career-high 22 points in a nail-biting game against the Jazz.

Even though the Nets lost 112-111 in overtime, Evbuomwan was on the court during the crucial moments. Coach Jordi Fernandez was impressed, saying he looked like a seasoned player despite being just 23.

In the final seconds, Evbuomwan hit some important free throws but couldn’t get a shot off when it mattered most. He admitted he fumbled the opportunity, but his teammates and coaches have been praising his calmness under pressure.

Ben Simmons played a lot of minutes but had to leave midway through overtime. He acknowledged he might have played too long but was eager to help the team win. Coach Fernandez emphasized the need to manage players’ minutes carefully, especially with Simmons still recovering.

Simmons is likely to miss one of the upcoming games, and D’Angelo Russell is out with a shin injury. Cam Johnson is also sidelined with an ankle sprain. The Nets are navigating some tough times, but Evbuomwan’s performance is a bright spot.
