The Brooklyn Nets have now made it past the 2023-24 NBA trade deadline and as such, they are looking to turn their season around with their current roster. While the past week has been a lot of the Nets to deal with, they will be getting healthier moving forward.
The Nets announced their initial injury report on Friday for Saturday’s game against the San Antonio Spurs and the report gave some positive news. For one, forward Dorian Finney-Smith, who has missed the past six games with a left ankle sprain, is available to face the Spurs.
Guard Lonnie Walker IV, who has missed the past two games due to left hamstring tightness, is listed as probable. In addition to those two, the Nets should also have the services of guard Dennis Schroder and forward Keita Bates-Diop, the two players that Brooklyn acquired in the trade deadline deals made on Thursday.
As far as the inactive players are concerned, forward Cam Johnson (left adductor strain) and center Day’Ron Sharpe (left knee hyperextension) remain out for the Nets.
In an possible update to Johnson’s injury, his adductor tightness is now being listed as a strain. From first glance, it seems like the terms are meant to be interchangeable in this instance.
Nets status report for tomorrow night's game against the San Antonio Spurs:
Lonnie Walker IV (left hamstring tightness) is PROBABLE.
Cam Johnson (left adductor strain) and Day'Ron Sharpe (left knee hyperextension) are OUT.
Keon Johnson is in the G League.
