Steve Nash said conditioning is keeping Ben Simmons off the floor, but Goran Dragic has only played in 5 games this year, is 10 years older than Simmons, and will play tomorrow.

Final: Celtics beat the Nets 129-106. Seth Curry with 22 in the losing effort. Jayson Tatum looked great. Dropped 30. Nets head to Milwaukee for Saturday’s game. It will be Kyrie Irving’s first in two weeks. Does Kevin Durant or Goran Dragic join him? We’ll see. – 10:05 PM
Brian Mahoney @briancmahoney
Nets, getting drubbed on TNT, come right back to national TV on Saturday at Milwaukee. They’ll have Kyrie for that one but probably still not Durant/Simmons/Dragic. – 9:27 PM

Celtics at Nets – Barclays Center – February 24, 2022 – Starters
Boston – Smart, Brown, Tatum, Horford, R. Williams
Brooklyn – Patty Mills, Seth Curry, Bruce Brown, LaMarcus Aldridge, Andre Drummond

Goran Dragic just officially became a Net tonight. He fist bumped Mr. Whammy. – 6:53 PM
Dave Early @DavidEarly
“I suppose it’s not out of the question… it’s probably less likely that he would play but I think in the next three games there’s a good chance he’s out there.”
