Terance Mann is making his way to the Brooklyn Nets, and he’s ready to prove himself.
After years with the Los Angeles Clippers and a brief stint with the Atlanta Hawks, Mann wants to send a message to the rest of the league.
He recently said that he’s in his “prime” and prepared to make a statement during his first season in Brooklyn.
“I’m in my prime right now and ready to show the world what I’ve really got outside this role I’ve been playing for the last six seasons,” Mann said.

Mann has been in the league for six seasons and has been a reliable bench player, starting in just 169 of his 412 games across the Clippers and Hawks.
But he’s ready for more.
He believes that he can be someone who starts in games, leads his teammates, and makes a difference for his squad.
Once again, the Nets might be one of the most troubled teams in the Eastern Conference in 2025-26.
However, this might be the perfect place for Mann and his lofty goals.
Brooklyn is a team attempting to figure itself out.
Because they aren’t expecting to be the best in their conference, there is space for players like Mann to experiment, evolve, and get better.
He has plenty of room to explore himself and figure out what he can do.
A team like this can make some noise and give players opportunities to overperform, surprise, and make a name for themselves.
Mann is confident, driven, and excited to get started with his new team.
This could be a turning point in his career, and he knows it.
