Greetings from Milwaukee. It’s cold. Nets-Bucks tip shortly. Goran Dragić makes his debut tonight off the bench. Second unit has him with Patty Mills and LaMarcus Aldridge, a hint of the rotation come full strength. Is this the Nets’ last game before KD come back? Updates comin’. – 8:27 PM

Kyrie Irving will start tonight alongside Seth Curry, Bruce Brown, James Johnson and Andre Drummond.
It’s the Nets’ 34th starting lineup of the season. Yes, that’s a league-high. – 8:03 PM

Steve Nash confirmed Ben Simmons is dealing with “a little back soreness.”
Adds “Yeah, he hasn’t played a game since June, so that’s just part of his process of trying to play…as you ramp up you’re subject to certain things as you would be with muscle soreness.”

Steve Nash says “there was no incident” after Kevin Durant’s second high-intensity workout this morning. Durant must clear one more without incident to clear Brooklyn’s return-to-play benchmarks. #Nets – 7:05 PM

Steve Nash likened Ben Simmons issue to the type of muscle soreness any player might get ramping up from a long layoff spanning back to June.
Didn’t seem like he’s very concerned Simmons sustained a new, significant injury during reconditioning. – 7:03 PM

Steve Nash said Ben Simmons is dealing with some back soreness, but nothing beyond what would be expected for somebody who hasn’t played since June. #nets – 7:03 PM

I really think this Nets team is going to be a monster some day, but it’s looking more and more like that time won’t come until next season.
If they get healthy, use those Philly picks on a bit more defense and a shooting big that can defend a bit, they’ll be awesome next year. – 7:03 PM

Some light reading before the #Bucks take on the #Nets tonight:
Bobby Portis came to Milwaukee to win an NBA championship. His love for the city and team brought him back – and now he’s having a career year.

I don’t think it’ll happen because it will take the Nets beating Milwaukee, but it’s possible we could finish the night in the NBA with 3.5 games separating the top six teams in the East – 4:14 PM
