Kyrie Irving will be sidelined again for the Brooklyn Nets on Monday. He is still dealing with a right shoulder impingement.
The issue first arose before Brooklyn faced the Denver Nuggets on Friday and kept Irving out of Saturday’s win over the Chicago Bulls — in which Spencer Dinwiddie started at point guard.
While Irving was out, Dinwiddie led the Nets with 24 points in the 117-111 finish, closing out the five-game road trip with a win. Joe Harris also had his highest-scoring game of the season, finishing with 22 points against the Bulls.
The Indiana Pacers will also be without their top-two players on Monday. Malcolm Brogdon is out with a sore back and Victor Oladipo is still rehabbing from his knee surgery.
Additionally, the Pacers will be without Jeremy Lamb due to an ankle sprain and T.J. McConnell is sidelined, as well, due to a sore groin.
Injury update: Lamb and McConnell are both OUT for tonight's game. https://t.co/eKiEB7jp5R
