The Nets won in a big way on Tuesday despite the drama surrounding Kyrie Irving, who remains unavailable for Brooklyn’s game on Wednesday. While the Nets won’t get to show off the full force of their duo, this will be the first time Kevin Durant faces the New York Knicks in a Brooklyn uniform.
In addition to Irving, the Nets are still without Tyler Johnson (COVID health and safety protocols) and Nic Claxton (right knee tendinopathy), as well as Spencer Dinwiddie (ACL surgery).
The Knicks are expected to get Obi Toppin (calf) back on Wednesday while Reggie Bullock (hip) is doubtful and both Alec Burks (ankle) and Frank Ntilikina (knee) are out.
