PORTLAND \u2014 The Nets\u2019 game Tuesday night at Portland will have plenty of lottery ramifications. And they\u2019re going into it shorthanded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leading scorer Cam Thomas and backup forward Trendon Watford are both out, while point guard D\u2019Angelo Russell and wing Cam Johnson are in doubt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Russell has missed four straight games with a right shin contusion. Johnson has sat out five in a row with a right ankle sprain suffered in the waning seconds of their Jan. 2 victory in Milwaukee. <\/p>\n
The Nets haven\u2019t won since he got hurt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Simmons is all but certain to miss one of the next two as well. He still hasn\u2019t been cleared to play both ends of back-to-backs yet, with Brooklyn also slated to play the Clippers on Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After returning from a four-game injury absence of his own with 10 points, seven assists and four rebounds in Denver, Simmons followed that up with 14 points, nine assists and six boards Sunday in Utah. He played 31:38 to exceed his minutes limit, before finally sitting in the second half of the overtime period.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBen was engaged the whole game. You see the [stats] \u2026 very, very good line. We need this type of Ben, aggressive, trying to score, very efficient,\u201d coach Jordi Fernandez said. \u201cBut what I liked the most was him engaging with his teammates, talking to his teammates, telling them what to do. And that was very good.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not going to give [the minutes limit], but we felt like his body is the most important thing. And it\u2019s not just goes for Ben, goes for everybody else. And if we feel like there\u2019s any risk, we\u2019re not going to take it. We know where we\u2019re at.\u2026 So again, we\u2019re not going to risk anything with Ben or anybody else. Their health, their bodies, are most important for us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Asked if he\u2019d be more likely to play Tuesday and sit on Wednesday to give Russell\u2019s shin an extra day to recover, Simmons was coy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, whatever is best for the team. I don\u2019t know right now. But Portland is the next focus. So, I\u2019m just taking care of my body, and then we\u2019ll see what happens,\u201d Simmons said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m good, man. I\u2019m good,\u201d Russell told The Post. \u201cI don\u2019t really know what the future is, don\u2019t know what the future holds. If I knew, I\u2019d answer.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bojan Bogdanovic (left foot injury recovery), Maxwell Lewis (left tibia fracture), De\u2019Anthony Melton (left knee ACL tear) and Watford (left hamstring strain) are all out.<\/p>\n
Tosan Evbuomwan had a career-high 22 points in Utah on 7-for-8 shooting, and 2-for-3 from deep with five boards. <\/p>\n
Over this three-game stretch, he\u2019s averaging 15.0 points on .625 shooting and .444 from deep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s played really well. He brought us a spark,\u201d Nic Claxton said. \u201cHe\u2019s a calm presence, too. I don\u2019t know much about his game, but he\u2019s done really well since he\u2019s been here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Nets have drawn 23 total charges, fourth most in the NBA and the most in the East. <\/p>\n
They had just nine last season, the fewest since the stat started being tracked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
