The Nets arrive in Detroit Tuesday with a number of walking wounded --typical for any NBA team this time of year, looking for their first preseason win in their first game vs. NBA competition. They lost 101-96 to Fenerbahce Ulker on Monday.
So far, only two players --Bojan Bogdanovic, Markel Brown and Chris McCullough-- are definite scratches. They didn't travel to the Motor City. A number of Nets missed the last two days of practice: specificaly big men Willie Reed, Andrea Bargnani and Thomas Robinson. If they don't play, there aren't a lot of bigs on the bench.
