Isaiah Hartenstein said the Brooklyn Nets sabotaged his draft status by “red flagging” him for a fake knee injury, pushing him to the middle of the second round in 2017 and potentially taking away millions in guaranteed money.
> “They red-flagged me for my knee. I never had knee problems in my life,” Hartenstein said on the “Roommates Show” podcast with hosts Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart. “The only thing I had something with my back. I knew that. So I’m like maybe it’s my back.”
> “On draft night, my agent’s like, ‘What’s wrong with your knee?’ I’m like, ‘What are you talking about? My knee is fine.’ He’s like, ‘Brooklyn just red-flagged you for your knee so you’ll probably drop a couple spots.”
> “Draft night, they’re like, ‘Houston wants to talk to you,’” Hartenstein said. “At the time, before that I was projected 15 to like 35. And Houston had 43. So I’m like, why do they want to talk to me? I’m on this Zoom call uninterested, pissed, like why am I talking to these people right now? And they ended up drafting me because I got red-flagged.”
> Hartenstein, who worked out for the Nets ahead of the draft, said the problem supposedly arose from his physical with the team. After the draft, he flew back to Germany – his home country – to get checked out by doctors.
> “They’re like, there’s nothing wrong with your knee,” Hartenstein said.
> Sean Marks was the GM of the Nets and used his 22nd pick on another center, Jarrett Allen.
