No matter the offseason changes made, the Brooklyn Nets are still finding themselves in déjà vu.
Every team deals with injuries, and the Nets have felt theirs early and often. While the squad has been without starting guards Kyrie Irving and Caris LeVert since mid-November and Kevin Durant for the whole season, the team lost another rotation player after David Nwaba tore his Achilles in Brooklyn’s loss to San Antonio on Thursday.
The gaps in the lineup have only gotten wider and leave the Nets in a similar situation to last season. In 2018-19, LeVert was out for three months with a dislocated foot, a blow to a team that started 6-8 behind LeVert’s 18.
