Danny Wolf isn’t worrying about his Jewish Joker nickname — or Draymond Green’s thoughts about it
NY Post
Danny Wolf is as honored with his Jewish Joker nickname — a nod to Nikola Jokic — as he is amused by Draymond Green’s profane reaction to it.
But the Nets’ first-round pick — as quietly efficient as any rookie in the NBA over the past few weeks — says he doesn’t actually play that much like Jokic. He’s just tried to take bits and parts from the likes of Jokic, Alperen Sengun, Franz Wagner and other skilled bigs revolutionizing the game.
The result is a multitalented player who slipped to Brooklyn at the back end of the first round and looks like a draft night steal. He’s humorously been dubbed by some as the Jewish Joker, a sobriquet that sent Green into a recent tantrum.
“We got the Jewish Joker, now. We got the Baby Joker [Sengun, Derik Queen]. Enough, man,” Green said last week on The Draymond Green Show. “I have to f–king guard Joker. You mean to tell me everyone’s just Joker? F–k out of here. No disrespect to Danny Wolf; I haven’t played against him. But enough of comparing everybody to Joker.”

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
