Steve Nash confirmed Wednesday that Kyrie Irving will miss Game 6 against the Milwaukee Bucks due to the ankle sprain he suffered in Game 4.
This leaves only two members of the Big Three available: Kevin Durant and James Harden, though Harden showed in the Nets’ Game 5 win that he still isn’t 100 percent healthy.
Harden was able to play through his hamstring injury it in Game 5 and it ignited the team to victory despite his poor shooting. The Nets guard went 1-for-10 from the field, but notched eight assists and five rebounds to go with five points. For the playoffs, Irving is averaging 22.7 PPG along with 5.8 RPG and 3.4 APG in 36 minutes of play.
Coach Steve Nash and his team have to figure out a way to steal one on the road for Game 6.
