Seth Curry is with the Nets on this trip. He’s going through some drills with the group but still hasn’t been cleared for 5-on-5 work yet as he continues his ankle rehab. He’s hopeful to be ready for the opener, but wants to see how his ankle responds this week. – 12:28 PM

Edmond Sumner has a minor hip strain. Steve Nash on whether Seth Curry (ankle) will be ready for the #Nets‘ Oct. 19 season opener vs. the #Pelicans: “Possibly. We’ll see. It might be too much for me to commit to that right now. But we’ll see how it goes.” #NBA1:43 PM

Steve Nash did add the hope is that Seth Curry (ankle) will be ready for the season opener. #nets12:55 PM

Seth Curry will not play this week. Hope had been he would be ready for final preseason game Friday. Hope is Curry (ankle) will be ready for start of season. pic.twitter.com/jlTJyzAO9D12:55 PM

Edmond Sumner has a hip strain, Seth Curry isn’t playing in any of the final two preseason games, Joe Harris is very unlikely to play against Milwaukee, and TJ Warren is still set to be reevaluated in November. Royce O’Neale acquisition is critical early. #Nets12:52 PM

Steve Nash said Joe Harris still has foot soreness. Won’t play tomorrow in Milwaukee. Seth Curry is progressing but won’t play this week. The hope was he could play in Friday’s preseason finale. Nash said it’s too early to commit to Curry not being ready for the season-opener. – 12:50 PM

That was a fun set from Doc with Tucker at the 5: Harden runs off the Iverson Cut for the empty side pick-and-roll (The Seth Curry Play) but Tucker pops right to his office in the corner. – 7:23 PM

More on this storyline

Kristian Winfield: Amending my earlier tweet, where I said Steve Nash is hopeful Seth Curry will play in season opener. That is not what he said: “Possibly, we’ll see. It might be too much for me to commit to that right now. But we’ll see how it goes.” #Nets -via Twitter @Krisplashed / October 11, 2022
“Getting closer every day. Doing a little bit more and more every day. I’m trying to be smart about it. Pass all the tests I need to pass and get ready to go, and stay mentally engaged at the same time to be ready for the season,” Curry said. “[I’m doing] full individual workouts … a bit of everything except playing five-on-five. That’s pretty much where I’m at.” -via New York Post / October 2, 2022
Curry had arthroscopic surgery on his left ankle in May after playing through pain last season. He’s estimated that he’s 85-90 percent, while Nash is hoping Curry can cameo in the Oct. 14 preseason finale in Minnesota. “That’d be ideal. Can’t guarantee it. Whenever he’s ready, he’ll be ready. To be determined,” Nash said. “We’ve got to monitor his progress every day and see how it progresses.” -via New York Post / October 2, 2022
