While the Nets will be moving out of Newark, NJ and into Brooklyn, NY this summer, we’ve got one piece of positive news for Jersey’s capital: like in 2011, the city will once again be hosting the NBA Draft in 2012. The event will go down on June 28 at the Prudential Center, where the Nets are currently playing. Via Cory Booker, the city’s mayor:
Thrilled 2 announce #Newark will host the #NBAdraft + Fanfest for 2nd year in a row @PruCenter June 28th!
