“#Nets ‘may not get any game<\/a>s with our whole roster’<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Kyrie Irving was in, while Kevin Durant and Blake Griffin were back out.<\/p>\n

The Nets continued the game of musical chairs with their lineup, using a team-record 29th different starting five and dressing just 10 active players for Wednesday\u2019s 123-117 loss at Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

With just 17 games left on the schedule, and fans sweating over whether that\u2019s enough time to build cohesion with a fully healthy roster, coach Steve Nash offered a sobering warning. Considering how many injuries the Nets have had \u2014 James Harden, LaMarcus Aldridge, Spencer Dinwiddie, Tyler Johnson and Chris Chiozza were all out \u2014 there\u2019s no guarantee they\u2019ll ever be 100 percent healthy.<\/p>\n

But the Nets are determined to work with what they\u2019ve got.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe may not get any games with our whole roster. Nothing is promised tomorrow,\u201d Nash said. \u201cI don\u2019t want to worry about or be concerned about things that are out of our control. I also don\u2019t want any excuses. You start playing that game where it\u2019s like, well we haven\u2019t had any games with our full roster. But in a sense, that\u2019s irrelevant. We don\u2019t control that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just keep moving forward, keep trying to get better, and if we get a full roster that would be great and if we don\u2019t we keep plugging away every day.I\u2019m not going to worry about when we\u2019ll have the full roster.We\u2019ll just chip away every day with whoever is available. Continue to build this thing and if we\u2019re fortunate to have everyone back then that will be a blessing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Durant and Griffin have been protected from playing back-to-backs. Harden has been dealing with a Grade 1 hamstring strain, and won\u2019t even be reevaluated until the Nets return to Brooklyn. Aldridge has a non-COVID-19 illness.<\/p>\n

Chiozza had surgery to repair a fractured third metacarpal of the right hand. The procedure was performed by Dr. Michelle Carlson at the Hospital for Special Surgery, and Nash said the guard was lost \u201cbasically for the regular season.\u201d<\/p>\n

DeAndre Jordan had 12 points and 14 rebounds going up against Joel Embiid in his second game back in the rotation after sitting out five straight games. Nash praised Jordan\u2019s effort, but Irving wasn\u2019t surprised.<\/p>\n
