If there is one constant to the Brooklyn Nets in the 2018-19 season, it is this: They are very accustomed to dealing with injuries.
The Nets (27-23) are in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff race thanks to a deep roster assembled by general manager Sean Marks that has survived multiple injuries all season long.
Not once in 2018-19 — regular or preseason — have the Nets had their full roster available. But by making “next man up” more than just a cool-sounding phrase to throw around a locker room and instead having that become a foundational principle of the organization, they’ve endured.
