\n After the NBA\u2019s long coronavirus layoff, the Nets are ramping up to resume play. They opened HSS Training Center on Tuesday and will bring players back for mandatory workouts Wednesday. But make no mistake, they\u2019ll be decimated when they finally get back on the court.<\/p>\n

With six players hurt, having tested positive for COVID-19 or opting out of the Orlando restart, they\u2019re down to a dozen healthy bodies. The way the past few days have gone, they could have even fewer by the time they arrive at the Grand Floridian a week from Wednesday.<\/p>\n

If the next month-plus is an audition for interim coach Jacque Vaughn, he\u2019s going in with one hand tied behind his back.<\/p>\n

Everybody knew stars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, as well as Nic Claxton, would all be out hurt. But Wilson Chandler opting out, and DeAndre Jordan and Spencer Dinwiddie both announcing they had tested positive for coronavirus on Monday, left the Nets stunned. And shorthanded.<\/p>\n

Both Jordan and Dinwiddie had been out of the area and came back to New York perfectly healthy. It was only well after they returned to Brooklyn they both contracted COVID-19.<\/p>\n

\u201cFound out last night and confirmed again today that I\u2019ve tested positive for Covid while being back in market,\u201d Jordan tweeted on Monday. \u201cAs a result of this, I will not be in Orlando for the resumption of the season.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Jacque<\/img>

Jordan\u2019s mother, Kimberly, followed up with a question that was rhetorical but valid, asking, \u201cI don\u2019t know why in the hell they had y\u2019all to go back to NY in the first place?!\u201d<\/p>\n

While Dinwiddie tweeted that he hasn\u2019t opted out and wants to play, the point guard will still be quarantined for two weeks. And the fact that he\u2019s symptomatic with fever and chest tightness doesn\u2019t bode well and casts doubt on whether he\u2019ll suit up again this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cOriginally, we were supposed to be one of the teams to enter into the Orlando bubble early, but training camp got switched back to New York and unfortunately I am now positive,\u201d Dinwiddie told the Athletic, adding \u201cHindsight is 20\/20.\u201d<\/p>\n

Losing Dinwiddie \u2014 who averaged career-bests of 20.6 points and 6.8 to keep Brooklyn afloat in Irving\u2019s absence \u2014 would be a huge blow and heap playmaking duties on Caris LeVert, Chris Chiozza and Garrett Temple.<\/p>\n

Brooklyn did ink Tyler Johnson as a free agent after waiving Theo Pinson, and brought back former 10-day Justin Anderson as a substitute for Chandler. Starting Wednesday, they can add substitutes for Jordan or anybody else who tests positive.<\/p>\n

The substitute wouldn\u2019t count against the cap and would be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.<\/p>\n

If the Nets try to replace Jordan like-for-like, they could add 6-foot-11, 265-pound John Egbunu from Long Island, or fellow G-Leaguers like Santa Cruz\u2019s Deyonta Davis, Delaware\u2019s 7-foot-4 shot blocker Christ Koumadje or Windy City\u2019s Simi Shittu. And Dragan Bender \u2014 on a 10-day with Golden State when the NBA halted \u2014 is an upside play.<\/p>\n

Whatever the case, Vaughn is facing a tall task with a gutted roster.<\/p>\n

Brooklyn is clinging to a tenuous half-game<\/a> edge on Orlando for the seventh seed. The Nets lead ninth-place Washington by six games, and oddsmakers have tabbed them to win just three games in the restart. <\/p>\n

If the Wizards close the gap enough they could force a play-in against the eighth seed. Should the Nets fail to make the playoffs \u2014 falling into the lottery \u2014 they would retain their first-round draft pick. But that would be small solace considering their high hopes at the start of this crazy COVID season.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
