The opening of the 2026/27 NBA season brought challenges for the Brooklyn Nets' Israeli players, with Ben Saraf assigned to the G-League and Dani Wolf struggling for playing time. However, a breakthrough arrived as Wolf delivered a stellar performance to guide the Nets to a 114-104 home victory over the Charlotte Hornets.

A Resounding Breakthrough

Given 19 minutes off the bench by head coach Jordi Fernandez following an injury to Noah Clowney, Wolf capitalized fully. He recorded 13 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists, shooting 4-of-6 from the field, including 2-of-4 from beyond the arc, and converting all 3 of his free throws. He finished with a game-high plus-minus of +17, matching Michael Porter Jr.

Fueling the Second-Half Comeback

Charlotte initially controlled the tempo, holding a seven-point halftime advantage. The momentum shifted drastically after the break as Brooklyn outscored the visitors 64-47 in the second half. Wolf played a pivotal role in the turnaround, sinking a crucial three-pointer in the third quarter and adding another clutch basket from deep in the final frame to secure the win.
