Clippers have a chance to own the glass today. Nets are 23rd in defensive rebounding and Zu has had his way… but the two early fouls will hurt – 4:23 PM
Adam Zagoria @AdamZagoria
Kyrie won’t play tomorrow vs the Lakers which would be his 6th game out
Status Report for tomorrow’s game at L.A. Clippers:
Irving (team suspension) – OUT
Warren (left foot – injury recovery) – OUT
Watanabe (left ankle sprain) – OUT
Williams (G League – two-way) – OUT – 4:23 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Timeout, Clippers, after Kevin Durant hits a 3 and gets the foul on Luke Kennard. The Nets are proving that the defense that has ranked No. 1 in all of basketball since Jacque Vaughn took over is not a fluke. They have set the tone in the first quarter. #NetsWorld #NBA #Nets4:23 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
We’ve seen Marcus Morris start on Kevin Durant, with Ivica Zubac coming over to double team multiple times.
This is probably going to be a small-ball game though.
Nets up 11-7 with 6:21 left in first quarter. Edmond Sumner off to a great start on both ends of the floor. – 4:22 PM
Erik Slater @erikslater_
Edmond Sumner might just wanna stick to the open corner looks lol
Great effort from him so far though. – 4:22 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Ivica Zubac is in foul trouble – 4:19 PM

Edmond’s got it going early! – 4:19 PM

The way the Nets are playing patient and not forcing bad shots against a good defense >>> – 4:18 PM

Nets are moving the ball beautifully here early. – 4:18 PM
Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
Edmond Sumner is giving no quarter to Reggie Jackson, stripping him of his dribble twice already. – 4:15 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
It’s so good to see Edmond Sumner playing again. – 4:14 PM
Eric Patten @EricPatten
Kennard again showing his improvement on defense. Great footwork to stay in front of Edmond Sumner, who has been a problem to start the game – 4:14 PM

Greetings from Staples Center. I’m not calling it by the new name. Was at a wedding last night in NJ and made it here for tipoff. I’m an animal. Nets-Clips tip shortly. – 4:11 PM

Ty Lue on what challenges do the Nets present?

#Clippers coach Ty Lue: “Jacque has been waiting for awhile. I thought he did a really good job in the Bubble…It’s a tough situation when you fire a coach and you’re bringing a new guy in. But he’s well deserving, and he’s ready.” #Nets2:24 PM

Cam Thomas and Nic Claxton have come up big for Brooklyn. Sean Marks’ ability to find overlooked talent has been his best trait:
Caris LeVert (20th pick)
Jarrett Allen (22nd pick)
Joe Harris (G-League)
Spencer Dinwiddie (G-League)
Cam Thomas (27th pick)
Nic Claxton (31st pick) – 11:56 AM

Nic Claxton is having a breakout season, averaging career highs across the board. Ben Simmons will continue to come off the bench amid the team’s recent success.
And Claxton’s dominance could present the Nets with some difficult questions down the line.clutchpoints.com/nic-claxtons-b…10:02 AM
