The Brooklyn Nets will be without Garrett Temple for the first time in 2019-20. The wing has been ruled out by the team for their game on Thursday against the Dallas Mavericks with a right knee contusion.
Temple has started in 23 of Brooklyn’s 32 games this season. He is averaging 29.5 minutes a night.
Temple joins a long list of Nets ruled out for Thursday’s game against the Mavericks. Caris LeVert (right thumb surgery), Kyrie Irving (right shoulder impingement), Nicolas Claxton (left hamstring soreness) and, of course, Kevin Durant (right Achilles surgery) are unavailable.
David Nwaba (right Achilles surgery) is also unavailable for the Nets. But, he may no longer be with the team. A report has surfaced stating he is going to be waived.
Former New York Knicks superstar big man Kristaps Porzingis will not be available for the Mavericks. He has been ruled out due to right knee soreness.
