Greetings from Indy. To quote Cornelius Fudge, ‘He’s back.’ Kyrie Irving is playing for the Nets for the first time since spraining his ankle at Milwaukee in Game 3 of the 2020 conference semifinals. He’s starting alongside Kevin Durant and James Harden. The big three returns. – 7:22 PM

Kyrie Irving will start tonight against the Pacers and is expected to play around 30 minutes. This marks the first time Irving, Kevin Durant and James Harden will play together for the Nets since Game 1 versus the Bucks in the playoffs on June 5, 2021. pic.twitter.com/Vnk9FWjhTz – 7:00 PM

Looking for revenge…
On December 2nd in Toronto, the Raptors were victorious (97-93) over the short-handed Bucks.

Nurse expects Scottie Barnes to open tonight’s game on Khris Middleton. Nurse had told us that Scottie asked to defend Middleton just before the Dec. 2 meeting, when Giannis (who’s out again tonight) was a late scratch. – 6:49 PM

It’s obviously not under the best circumstances, but it’s still great to see Darvin Ham up on the podium for pregame. Have been hoping he would receive a head coaching opportunity in recent years but it’s certainly been the Bucks benefit that he has stayed on the staff. – 6:30 PM

Just an FYI – if none of three health & safety questionable players clear and are available tonight for the #Bucks, they still have 9 available players for acting head coach Darvin Ham.
The issue, of course, if none of them clear AND another two players go into it before tip. – 5:08 PM

“I am grateful to be in this position,” Josh Primo said last night in Toronto. “I know there are a lot of people who would love to be here. That’s why I work hard each and every day and try to be grateful each and every time I step on the floor.” pic.twitter.com/JslqhYlJ2S – 4:58 PM

Lakers (no LeBron)
Nuggets (no Jokic)
Sixers (no Embiid)
