Injury Report: Cam Thomas, Trendon Watford, De’Anthony Melton are all out for the Brooklyn Nets. Tyson Etienne, Dariq Whitehead, and Tosan Evbuomwan will all be in Long Island. Thomas and Watford are on injury management.
For the Lakers, Lebron James is out with a groin strain. Former Net Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle), Maxi Kleber (right foot), and Rui Hachimura (knee) will also miss action as well. To make matters worse, Luka is questionable with back soreness, as well as Jaxson Hayes due to knee problems.
The Game: If you were looking forward to a high energy game filled with stars and high flying athletes, you sadly came to the wrong place. Starting with the Nets, Cam Thomas will be back on the bench to manage his injury. This is understandable due to Thomas’ recent play, as his shooting numbers haven’t been pleasant despite still being able to find ways to score the basketball.
