In the beginning of the 2020–21 season, the Nets acquired James Harden in a four-team trade on January 14, 2021. The trade reunited him with former Oklahoma City Thunder teammate Kevin Durant, and along with Kyrie Irving, the Nets created a superteam.^[2][3]

The Nets set a franchise record for three-point field goals during the game versus the Sacramento Kings on February 15, 2021, with 27 three-point field goals,^[4][5] and narrowly missed the NBA record (29),^[6] which was set by the Milwaukee Bucks on December 29, 2020.^[7]

Fan attendance in home games was prohibited until February 23, 2021, per an executive order from Governor of New York Andrew Cuomo.^[8] The Nets reopened the Barclays Center to spectators on February 23.^[9]

The Nets clinched a playoff berth for the third straight year, following their victory over the Toronto Raptors on April 27, becoming the first Eastern Conference team, and second overall to do so.^[10]

The Nets faced the Boston Celtics in the first round of the 2021 NBA playoffs, defeating them in five games.^[11][12] The Nets then faced the eventual champion Milwaukee Bucks in the conference semifinals and lost the series in seven games despite taking a 2–0 and later a 3–2 lead.^[13]
