Devin Harris injured his knee in Tuesday night’s game after teammate Kris Humpries fell on him. Stay tuned for an update on the MRI results that are scheduled for Wednesday. Given the injury history of Harris, there is a good chance that he misses a some games. Jordan Farmar becomes at short term pickup (until the severity is known) as he will take over as the Nets starting point guard if Harris misses any time.
On Tuesday night, Vince Carter returned to the lineup after a three game absence because of a sprained left knee. For those who picked up J.J. Redick, it is now time to send the former Duke Blue Devil back to the waiver wire. On Tuesday, Redick played only 21 minutes, while Mickael Pietrus logged 29 minutes and ended the night with 13 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 three-pointers off the bench.
Good news for Demarcus Cousins owners. One day after Cousins was kicked out of practice, Kings coach Paul Westphal said that his minutes would not be affected.
After the Nov. 28 Troy Murphy sighting where he played less than ten minutes, Nets coach Avery Johnson let Murphy out of the doghouse again on Tuesday. He finished with zero points on 0 for 4 shooting, five rebounds, and two turnovers. Kris Humphries and Derrick Favors remain ahead of Murphy on the PF depth chart.
Wesley Matthews took advantage of his fourth start of the season, finishing with 26 points, including 2 three-pointers. Nicolas Batum had a disappointing performance in his first game coming off the bench. Batum has had a rough week, but keep in mind that Brandon Roy will be missing games periodically, which will lead to starts for Batum.
