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. 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. ==Season-by-season==
