October 12, 2025

The Brooklyn Nets (1-1) did not continue their winning ways in Friday’s preseason game against the Phoenix Suns (2-0) as they lost in a 132-127 overtime loss after leading for much of the first few quarters. However, Brooklyn has a chance to get back into the winning column with a rematch against the Suns on Sunday and if you’re wondering how you can watch all the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

The Nets and Suns playing two consecutive preseason games while in Macao, China is part of the NBA’s China Games initiative, allowing the league along with the franchises to expose themselves to a bigger audience outside of the United States. While the NBA is trying to increase its reach beyond the borders of the United States of America, the players are looking to get ready for the 2025-26 NBA regular season.

Cam Thomas led the way for the Nets when it came to Friday’s loss to the Suns as he piled up 22 points, three rebounds, and six assists while Jordan Goodwin was the hero for Phoenix with 19 points, seven rebounds, and two assists of his own. Here is what you need to know to get ready for Sunday’s preseason rematch between the Nets and Suns:
