The Brooklyn Nets dropped a game against one of the teams they’re currently chasing in the Eastern Conference standings. That being said, Monday night’s loss to the Boston Celtics is hardly anything to worry about.
The Nets are about as banged up as any team in the league right now. Caris LeVert is still out and Spencer Dinwiddie had successful surgery on Monday. Furthermore, Allen Crabbe, Treveon Graham, Jared Dudley, and Dzanan Musa were all out. Joe Harris is playing through some right hip soreness as well.
Mitch Creek (10-day contract) and Theo Pinson (two-way contract) played a combined 44 minutes tonight.
