INJURY REPORT: Chris Chiozza breaks hand; Kevin Durant, LaMarcus Aldridge out; Kyrie Irving in
Photo by David Sherman/NBAE via It would probably be easier to list who IS playing tonight in Philadelphia rather than who isn’t. Seven Nets —count ‘em— fill the team’s injury status report for the game that could determine the Eastern Conference seeding. Read it and weep... The absence of Kyrie Irving, who missed Tuesday’s game, means he’s available. He’ll be one of ten Nets dressed and active. The big surprise of course is that Chris Chiozza fractured the third metacarpal of his shooting hand in the Timberwolves game Tuesday...

Kevin Durant scores 31 points in 27 minutes as Brooklyn blow out Minnesota, 127-97
Photo by David Sherman/NBAE via The short-handed Nets took care of business in a long-handed way. Writ large. Without James Harden, LaMarcus Aldridge and Kyrie Irving, the Nets blew out the Timberwolves, 127-97, in a tense Minneapolis. The game, originally scheduled for Monday night, was postponed and played mid-afternoon without fans while protestors and police faced off in a nearby suburb following the killing of a young black man by police ... and jurors heard testimony in the trial of another police officer accused of killing George Floyd. With the win, Brooklyn...

Nic Claxton: ‘My minutes are going to fluctuate some but I just got to stay ready’
Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Nicolas Claxton is determined to stay ready and make the most out of his situation as the Nets good health and good fortune has (so far) resulted in a minutes deduction. “It’s tough but it’s part of the journey. (We) got some new guys that have come in and my minutes have fluctuated. I just got to stay ready, continue to learn and whatever minutes I’m given, I just have to go out there and make the most out of,” Claxton said. Claxton has seen a drop in minutes since LaMarcus Aldridge joined the Nets on March 28 and the...

Brooklyn Nets: Fans need to give Kyrie Irving space as he takes days off
The Brooklyn Nets need a bounce-back victory after LaMarcus Aldridge and the interior frontcourt were decimated by the Los Angeles Lakers, but it appears as though they’ll have to pick up that win without the services of both Kyrie Irving and James Harden. Harden has been hampered with a hamstring injury over the last week, […] Brooklyn Nets: Fans need to give Kyrie Irving space as he takes days off - Nothin But Nets - Nothin But Nets - Brooklyn Nets News and Fan Community

Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via The Nets have listed both Kyrie Irving and LaMarcus Aldridge out for Monday’s game against the Timberwolves, leaving only Kevin Durant of the “Big Three” available and he’s likely to be on a minutes restriction.

The Nets guard has missed a total of 10 games this season due to two personal absences prior to Sunday’s news. The length of his latest personal absence was not undisclosed. Nor was there any detail...

Brooklyn Nets: Is Andre Drummond’s dominance really cause for Joel Embiid concern?
The Brooklyn Nets might’ve been taking on a Los Angeles Lakers team that was playing without LeBron James and Anthony Davis on Saturday, but that didn’t stop Andre Drummond from absolutely demolishing their front court in a dominant win.

FILM STUDY: LaMarcus Aldridge? Blake Griffin?? Nicolas Claxton??? Are Nets loaded upfront?!
Photo by Jim McIsaac/ Still on a tear, even with stars in and out of the lineup, the Brooklyn Nets have cruised thanks to what was once the team’s biggest weakness... the front court.

Lewis: DeAndre Jordan isn’t going anywhere despite reduced role
Photo by Jim McIsaac/ DeAndre Jordan’s role, to put it mildly, has changed in recent weeks. The starter for most of the season, DJ has now had four straight DNP-CDs and 12 straight games without any fourth quarter mines. With Kevin Durant back and healthy, Blake Griffin and new starter LaMarcus Aldridge signed, and Nic Claxton’s development exploding, he’s out of the picture. Look at it this way: rookie Reggie Perry has played 13 minutes in the last four games DJ hasn’t played at all. Still, Brian Lewis reports that there is no talk of buying him out before...
