What happened
Brooklyn’s pregame injury note lists Michael Porter Jr. with left wrist soreness, Day’Ron Sharpe with left shoulder soreness, Mikel Brown Jr. in ankle recovery, and Joshua Jefferson with a lower-back issue.
The Nets are playing their only home preseason game at Barclays Center, and the discussion also notes most of their starters were finished by halftime in Charlotte, keeping minutes a live rotation question.
These absences and the limited preseason usage suggest Brooklyn may lean on bench lineups again, while the exact minute cap for regulars remains unsettled.
