The NBA’s Board of Governors officially approved the move of the New Jersey Nets to Brooklyn for next season.
The vote was unanimous and the team will play in the Barclays Center, according to the New York Post, citing the Nets’ website.
“We are looking forward to the opening of the Barclays Center on September 28 and to the start of the next NBA season as the Brooklyn Nets,” majority owner Mikhail Prokhorov and minority owner Bruce Ratner said in a joint statement.
The struggling Nets are out of contention for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
