The Nets entered Thursday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks shorthanded, coming off a disappointing loss against the Milwaukee Bucks in the first half of a back-to-back. Four key rotation guys sat against Luka Doncic and the Mavs: Markieff Morris, Seth Curry, Joe Harris, and TJ Warren.
Joe Harris, still working his back into form while coming off ankle surgery, was withheld from Thursday’s contest due to injury management. Fortunately, this is all precautionary; the plan is to play Harris in Saturday’s home game against the Indiana Pacers.
“Yeah, Joe should play Saturday,” said Steve Nash before the start of Thursday’s game.
