There’s a “stat” that may seem unbelievable to those who aren’t Nets fans, but it’s as unsurprising as the sun’s daily rise to us: Since the Clean Sweep Summer, Brooklyn has not produced a clean injury report.
Never.
Kevin Durant and his achilles recovery had it covered that first season, while Spencer Dinwiddie’s early injury had us covered in 2020-’21. But over the past season and change, the Nets still haven’t been able to present a clean bill of health.
We are closer now, though, than we ever were. Ben Simmons, Yuta Watanabe, and Edmond Sumner are all currently on the shelf, but following Brooklyn’s practice Tuesday, we learned some concrete information about all three of their cases.
