Before the season, on September 18, 2019, Joseph Tsai acquired the full ownership of the Nets from Mikhail Prokhorov.[2][3] On March 7, 2020, Kenny Atkinson resigned as the Nets' head coach and was replaced by Jacque Vaughn on an interim basis.[4][5]
The season was suspended by league officials following the games of March 11[6] after it was reported that Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19.[7] On March 17, the Nets announced that four of its players tested positive for COVID-19, including Kevin Durant.[8][9] On April 1, general manager Sean Marks announced that all four players recovered and were cleared by local health officials.[10] On June 4, the regular season was declared over with the remaining games being cancelled when the NBA Board of Governors approved a plan that would restart the season with 22 teams returning to play on July 31, which was approved by the National Basketball Players Association the next day.[11][12]
The Nets made the playoffs for a second consecutive season and faced the Toronto Raptors in the first round, where they were swept in four games.[13][14]
