SALT LAKE CITY \u2014 The Nets were without Cam Johnson, D\u2019Angelo Russell and Cam Thomas for Sunday\u2019s game at Utah.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And Ben Simmons is all but certain to miss one of the next two as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jordi Fernandez confirmed Simmons still hasn\u2019t been cleared to play both ends of back-to-backs yet. With Brooklyn playing at the Trail Blazers on Tuesday and at the Clippers on Wednesday, the Nets coach was coy about whether they\u2019d already determined if Simmons would sit in Portland or in Los Angeles.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s my secret,\u201d Fernandez said cheekily before the Nets lost to the Jazz in crushing fashion, 112-111 in overtime on Sunday. \u201cWe probably have. We probably haven\u2019t.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It\u2019s uncertain if the Nets would play Simmons on Tuesday to give Russell an extra day to recover in hopes Russell could suit up against the Clippers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Russell missed his fourth consecutive game Sunday with a right shin contusion. Johnson sat out a fifth straight with a right ankle sprain suffered in the waning seconds of their Jan. 2 victory in Milwaukee.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, they\u2019ve been doing their work and they\u2019re day-to-day,\u201d Fernandez said. \u201cBut we\u2019re happy with what we\u2019re seeing and how they\u2019re working. Obviously they\u2019re with the group. So is Trendon [Watford]. And it\u2019s just good to have them around and have some sweat equity and see them work.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Watford is with the Nets on this six-game trip, although Fernandez has said it\u2019s unlikely that the forward plays before they return to Brooklyn.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Two-way player Tosan Evbuomwan extended his career high-tying streak of games in double figures to three. <\/p>\n
He had a career-high 15 points after three quarters before finishing with 22. <\/p>\n
The Princeton product made two clutch, go-ahead free throws with 6.1 seconds left in overtime before the Nets fell to the Jazz.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fernandez has been impressed with the young forward\u2019s play since joining the Nets recently, and said more minutes would be in the offing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ziaire Williams extended his own string of double-digit outings to a career-high five straight thanks to a 19-point effort.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dariq Whitehead was cleared \u2014 but did not play Sunday \u2014 after having been questionable due to concussion protocol from an injury suffered with G-League Long Island.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was an elbow. I took a little shot to the head,\u201d Whitehead told The Post. \u201cI mean, I tried to keep playing, but then I caught bad headaches, like migraines and stuff. It started immediately, but I still was trying to play. I was telling them I was good, but then it got worse. So I\u2019m like, all right, [I need to tell them].\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Watford (left hamstring strain), Bojan Bogdanovic (left foot injury recovery), Cam Thomas (left hamstring strain), Maxwell Lewis (left tibia fracture), De\u2019Anthony Melton (left knee ACL tear) were all out Sunday. <\/p>\n
Thomas won\u2019t be re-evaluated until after the trip.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lauri Markkanen (low back spasms), Keyonte George (heel), John Collins (hip), Jordan Clarkson (left foot), and Taylor Hendricks (broken right leg, ankle) were all out for Utah. <\/p>\n
Brice Sensabaugh played after being questionable with an illness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the Lakers and Clippers had games postponed due to the deadly wildfires in the area, the NBA told both teams on Sunday that their regularly scheduled games are expected to be played Monday. After playing the Clippers on Wednesday at Intuit Dome, the Nets face the Lakers on Friday at Crypto.com Arena.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Lakers will host a donation drive at the Nets game to support relief efforts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
