The Brooklyn Nets are fighting for their playoff lives right now. On Saturday, they will catch a break against the Boston Celtics. The team announced via Twitter that they will be without Kyrie Irving and Al Horford.
Irving is dealing with left knee soreness and Horford is working through soreness in his lower back. In addition to the two All-Stars, Jayson Tatum is questionable with an illness.
Irving is leading Boston in scoring and assists per game. Of course, the Celtics have a solid backup point guard in Terry Rozier, but the Nets will consider themselves lucky all the same.
