Cam Thomas Will Suit Up For Tuesday’s Game
Brooklyn Nets small forward Cam Thomas (hand) has been cleared to take the floor for Tuesday's contest vs. the Raptors despite battling a strained right hand.

Andre Drummond Will Miss Tuesday’s Contest
Brooklyn Nets center Andre Drummond (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Raptors due to a sore left knee.

Despite […]
Andre Drummond Uncertain For Tuesday
Brooklyn Nets center Andre Drummond (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He only played 16 minutes on Monday, so it's uncertain if that was because knee soreness or the fact it was a blowout.

Cam Thomas Questionable Versus Raptors
Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (hand) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors.

Otherwise, Goran Dragic would […]

Jevon Carter Released By Nets
Brooklyn Nets guard Jevon Carter has been released by the organization. The team needed to clear a roster spot for Goran Dragic, so Carter was the odd man out.
