Injury Updates and Future Games
Coach Jordi Fernández provided a brief update on Cam Thomas, who is sidelined due to a hamstring injury. The team anticipated an evaluation at the three-week mark, as communicated on November 7.
“Right now, it’s three, and we said three to four. It’s not four yet, so there’s no update,” Fernández noted.
Despite the loss, the performances of Dëmin and Wolf represent a silver lining for the Nets. The team will look to regroup and have another opportunity on the court against the Milwaukee Bucks.
