The Brooklyn Nets will opt to deploy their end-of-the-bench units against the Indiana Pacers this Saturday.
Kevin Durant (right knee injury management), Kyrie Irving (left adductor tightness), and Ben Simmons (left knee/calf injury management) will sit down, joining Nic Claxton (hamstring), Seth Curry (ankle), Joe Harris (ankle), Royce O’Neale (personal), and T.J. Warren (foot).
With that, only eight players will be available to play, with Yuta Watanabe set to make a return after missing ten games in a row due to a hamstring injury.
The Nets are playing the second night of their back-to-back, topping the Atlanta Hawks on a close 120-116 Friday win.
Brooklyn currently occupies the fourth-best record in the East so far with a 14-12 card.
