The Miami Heat are a challenging opponent for any team in the NBA as it is. With the Nets coming off a shocking 141-118 loss at the hands of the Atlanta Hawks on Friday, things won’t be any easier Brooklyn in their Saturday game in Miami.
And things might even get a little tougher.
The team has ruled Caris LeVert questionable to play in Saturday’s game. He is dealing with a right hand contusion.
This is not the first time LeVert has had an issue with his right hand this season. He was out from November 12 to January 2 after he suffered ligament damage in his right thumb and had to undergo surgery.
Kevin Durant (right Achilles), Kyrie Irving (right shoulder impingement) are the only Nets players who have already been ruled out due to injury. Dzanan Musa and Jeremiah Martin will also be unavailable. They are with Brooklyn’s G League affiliate, the Long Island Nets.
