On January 27, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued to unfold, and the Nets played back-to-back at home to meet the Nuggets. The last game lost to the Lakers, the Nets suffered a two-game losing streak, before the start of today's game, the team suffered another heavy blow, Harden also has an injury and will miss the game. In the starting lineup announced before the game, Nash was also forced to make a big change, and the big three all had no chance to play.
In the Nets' latest injury report, Harden was put on the list of suspects due to left hamstring tension, and then the team officially announced before the game that Harden would miss today's game against the Nuggets. Harden has also recently been in the spotlight, having been associated with the 76ers, believing he will be part of the 76ers next season. But today, Woj revealed that the Nets will not discuss Harden's deal with the team they call, because Harden has repeatedly promised management and bosses that he is committed to playing for the Nets, and he wants to win the championship here. In addition, Harden did not dislike Brooklyn, but was a little frustrated with the chaos of the team's lineup today.
Indeed, as Harden said, the Nets' lineup is indeed a bit chaotic now, first of all, Irving can not play in the home game, and Nash is still not sure about the main lineup, each game will send a different lineup, one will use new people, one will use veterans.
This time against the Nuggets, the big three can not play, just to check Nash's platoon, this time the starting lineup: Mills, Bembry, Edwards, James Johnson and Aldridge.
In addition to the Big Three's absences, the Nets have four other players missed: Joe Harris, Sharp, Clarkston and Millsap. A total of 7 people missed the game, and the Nets were too miserable. Among them, Irving cannot play at home, Millsap has agreed with the team that he will not play again, and the other 5 players are absent due to injury.
