Brooklyn Nets Will Celebrate Drazen Petrovic's Legacy on Feb. 26 vs. Chicago Bulls.

The Brooklyn Nets will celebrate the legacy of former New Jersey Nets standout Drazen Petrovic on Monday, February 26 when the Nets host the Chicago Bulls at Barclays Center. This year marks 25 years since the star’s tragic death. The Feb. 26 game will honor Petrovic’s contributions to the Nets franchise from 1991-1993. During that time, Petrovic led the Nets in free throws and field goals, ranking among the top of all guards leaguewide. In his first season with the team (1991-92), the Nets made the playoffs with 14 more wins recorded than the previous year. In his second and final season, Petrovic ranked 11th leaguewide in PPG with 22.3 and made All-NBA Third Team. The Croatian native is remembered as one of the greatest European players of all time. As part of the special evening, the first 10,000 fans who arrive at Barclays Center will receive a Drazen Petrovic Starting Lineup figurine sporting the New Jersey Nets red, white, and blue uniform in No. 3, which the team retired shortly after he died. During the game, the Nets will recognize Biserka Petrovic, Drazen’s mom, who will be in attendance from Croatia. 

 Thank You Brooklyn Nets !
