Brooklyn Nets Injury Report
The Nets have not submitted their injury report, as they played the Rockets on Tuesday. However, Joe Harris and Ben Simmons have been ruled out of the game.
Seth Curry, meanwhile, was ruled out against the Rockets due to an ankle injury. The team could decide to give him another game off to keep him fresh for the playoffs. Goran Dragic has been ruled out due to the league's health and safety protocols, though.
Steve Nash was asked if the #Nets are considering resting Seth Curry through the Play-In. Nash explains how he doesn't think even that amount of rest would address Curry's ongoing ankle issues. That's more of an off-season fix so they expect he'll be managing it through the year. https://t.co/cWyE4BajXR
