The Brooklyn Nets are red hot at the moment, but they could run into a fatigue problem very soon. Already down one of their stars in Kevin Durant (hamstring), the Nets were also without Tyler Johnson (adductor) going into Sunday’s game against the Clippers, which Brooklyn won.
With Iman Shumpert (hamstring), Spencer Dinwiddie (ACL surgery) and Reggie Perry (G League) all out, as well, the Nets continue to run thin — even with Nicolas Claxton’s return. Then Brooklyn lost Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot in the first half of Sunday’s win to a right hip contusion. On top of that, the Nets lost Jeff Green in the closing minutes of their win over the Los Angeles Clippers after a collision with Patrick Beverley on a screen.

The Nets diagnosed Green’s injury as a right shoulder contusion. The forward will be evaluated on Monday.
