The Brooklyn Nets (30-47) host the Detroit Pistons (13-64) in a Saturday night game.
The Nets are mostly healthy. Meanwhile, the Pistons are and have been quite the opposite. Moreover, these are two teams that are far from making the playoffs. And even if they had somehow been able to sneak into the postseason, no one would select them to go on a potential run. Therefore, it doesn’t make sense to risk aggravating injuries if there are any concerns.
But for today’s game, is there something that sticks out to you that you need to consider before taking action?
Brooklyn Nets vs. Detroit Pistons Injury Report
Brooklyn Nets
| Team | Injury | Status |
| Cameron Johnson | Toe | GTD |
| Dennis Smith Jr. | Hip | GTD |
The Brooklyn Nets will have their core of Cam Thomas, Nic Claxton, and Mikal Bridges available and able to play. They would like for Cameron Johnson to be healthy and to return. But as stated, it’s at that point in the year where, if he’s dealing with an injury, he’s more likely than not to sit out against the Detroit Pistons. This is a year, that Nets fans will soon hope to forget. But watching how Johnson is able to get healthy again is important to monitor.
Updates:
Detroit Pistons
| Team | Injury | Status |
| Cade Cunningham | Knee | GTD |
| Taj Gibson | Hamstring | GTD |
| Simone Fontecchio | Toe | GTD |
The Pistons have struggled through the season, and it’s known where their issues are. However, they will likely be without their best player. For this team at any given moment. But Cunningham is someone with whom the Pistons should exercise caution against the Brooklyn Nets. The team knows that he’s the most important; however, it’s important to not risk aggravating injury for a game that truly is ultimately meaningless at this point.
Updates:
Cade Cunningham – Out (Injury Management)
Simone Fontecchio – Out (Toe)
Taj Gibson – Probably (Hamstring)
Brooklyn Nets Wanting Johnson Back
Johnson is someone with whom he has struggled with injuries throughout the season, but he’s the perfect fit for someone to go alongside Bridges. It’s not known exactly to what extent Kevin Ollie will be in charge or if he’s done enough to earn the full-time position. However, whoever ends up being the coach next year, needs a proven contributor like Johnson on this team.
Is someone who doesn’t require consistent touches on the ball in order to make an impact. And night out, he provides hustle and effort plays that others simply don’t. He’s far from their best or most important player. Regardless, the Brooklyn Nets miss seeing him on the court.
