The Nets will be without two players – Joe Harris and Seth Curry – for their opening night game against the Pelicans. Brooklyn’s head coach Steve Nash is not concerned with their situation though.
Via Peter Bottle of New York Post:
“I’m not concerned. I’m positive, I’m optimistic,” Nash said about Harris and Curry after practice Sunday in Brooklyn. “It’s just straightforward, guys coming back from surgery and assimilating back to play.
“It’s not always like straight up, sometimes you go through some adaptation issues. I think those guys are facing that, more than the emergency lights are on and we’re concerned. I think we feel like this is all a part of them getting back to it. … It’s well within the realm of normalcy for guys to have hiccups after surgery.”
Harris averaged 11.3 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist in 30.2 minutes over 14 games last season. Since getting traded from the 76ers Curry has played 19 games for the Nets, averaging 14.9 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 29.9 minutes per game.
