The Nets will be without rapidly developing glue guy Yuta Watanabe at least through the rest of their current road trip. The fan favorite has a strained right hamstring and won’t play at least until Sunday against the Trail Blazers at Barclays Center. “He got an MRI [exam] in Philly and Yuta has a hamstring strain,” Jacque Vaughn said before the Nets beat the Raptors 112-98 on Wednesday night, adding that he would miss that game and the game Friday at Indiana. “So we’ll reassess him when we get back home.
