Joe Harris will miss his seventh straight game with an ankle sprain Saturday night when the Nets face the Suns. Judging by Steve Nash’s comments Friday afternoon, don’t expect him back any time soon.
“I think he’s made small progress,” Nash told the Nets media. “But I think there’s still a ways to go there, where they’ve got to continue to evaluate different options and how we can help speed up his recovery.”
Nash didn’t elaborate on how long “a ways to go” might be or what the “different options” might be. The Nets have neither provided a timeframe for Harris’ return nor the grade of the sprain on the three-grade scale.
