The Brooklyn Nets can’t seem to stay healthy. Between Ben Simmons’s nerve impingement, Nic Claxton’s ankle injury, Cam Johnson’s knee, Dennis Smith Jr.’s back, Cam Thomas’s ankle and now Lonnie Walker IV’s hamstring injury, it’s amazing that Brooklyn is just one game out of the sixth seed in the East.
Walker will miss Wednesday’s contest in Atlanta and while the majority of the Nets starters, sans Simmons, has returned healthy, the Nets x-factor and sparkplug off the bench is the latest name to be sidelined.
Just ask Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, or James Harden about how injuries can wreck a season.
Fortunately, the Nets go nine players deep and have the depth to withstand a couple injuries.
The team has had an unusually high number of injuries this season, so Jacque Vaughn will have to dig deep into his bag of tricks and use his bench to get through a difficult stretch of upcoming games as Walker recovers.
