- Nets have had last three games postponed due to lack of players
- NBA teams need a minimum of eight players to start a game
- Brooklyn have had a league-high 10 players in Covid protocols
The Brooklyn Nets have enough players to fly to Los Angeles and play their Christmas showdown against the Lakers, though Kevin Durant might not be among them.
Coach Steve Nash said Thursday that James Harden has cleared the NBA’s health and safety protocols, but he said the Nets don’t expect any of their players still in the protocols to come out in time for the game. That would include Durant, the NBA’s leading scorer.
