We are heartbroken to learn of the passing of Jason Collins.

Jason spent eight seasons in a Nets uniform, helping define an era of our franchise and playing a vital role on our back-to-back Eastern Conference championship teams in 2002 and 2003. He was a constant in our locker room — selfless, tough, and deeply respected by teammates, coaches, and staff alike.

Those who were around Jason every day knew him not just as a competitor, but as a genuinely kind, thoughtful person who brought people together. His impact extended far beyond the court, and his courage and authenticity helped move the game — and the world — forward.

Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Jason will always be a part of the Nets family, and he will be deeply missed.

Clax moved up to 4th all-time in team history in blocks and set franchise records with 253 assists and 3.7 APG.

Z-Will also set a new Nets single-season record with 3.1 deflections per game.

Fun fact: He’s got the highest OREB% in NBA history (min. 200 GP) at 18.5%.
