It\u2019s very difficult to, one, expose him to full NBA playoff basketball with the type of injury he has. We want to look out for his long-term health, first and foremost.

That\u2019s likely when his odds of a return may be better evaluated. With six games left in the regular season, that wouldn\u2019t afford him much time to ramp up before the postseason.<\/p>\n<p>That of course doesn\u2019t preclude the possibility of Dinwiddie working himself into full shape as the playoffs progress.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>James Harden (right hamstring) and Nic Claxton worked out together during the Nets\u2019 stay in Milwaukee, and Claxton returned to action Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Claxton had missed eight consecutive games since last playing April 18 in Miami and going into health and safety protocol the next afternoon.

It was great to have them get out there, feel it, and be a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harden, who missed a 15th straight game, hasn\u2019t played since April 5 versus the Knicks.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>Mike James, who inked a second 10-day deal Monday, had 10 points in Tuesday\u2019s loss.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTalented player, good athlete, has speed and can get in the paint and cause problems. He\u2019s a talented scorer as well,\u201d Nash said. \u201cBut just trying to find a role for him that\u2019s clear and simple and comfortable.\u201d\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
