Clears protocols, ready for play-in Dragic has cleared COVID-19 health and safety protocols Monday and will be available for Tuesday's play-in game against the Cavaliers, Marc Spears of ESPN reports.

Impact Just minutes earlier, the Nets listed Dragic as out on their official injury report after he was unable to practice Monday while remaining in the protocols. Head coach Steve Nash said earlier Monday that he wasn't optimistic that Dragic would be cleared in time to play Tuesday, but the veteran guard has apparently tested out of protocols more quickly than anticipated. While he may be behind a bit conditioning-wise, Dragic should return to the rotation and play a key role Tuesday as the Nets look to claim the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Remains in protocols as of Monday Dragic (COVID-19 protocols) is listed as out for Tuesday's play-in game against the Cavs. ESPN's Nick Friedell adds that Dragic could be cleared prior to the game, but the expect...

Impact Dragic remains in protocols, so he was not able to practice with the team earlier in the day. Coach Steve Nash acknowledged that Dragic testing out of protocols prior to Tuesday night is a possibility, but Friedell relays that Nash did not sound optimistic about the chances to have the veteran in uniform. While Dragic is technically listed as out on the Nets' official injury report, the more accurate update is that he's teetering somewhere between out and doubtful as of Monday afternoon.

Says he'll play Tuesday Curry (ankle) said Monday that he'll play in Tuesday's play-in matchup against the Cavaliers, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Curry's comments came just minutes after his head coach said the sharpshooter would be labeled as probable, per Nick Friedell of ESPN.com. Regardless, it sounds like Curry's absence from the regular-season finale was merely precautionary, and he should be good to go for Tuesday's contest. Since joining the Nets, Curry has averaged 14.9 points on 49.3 percent shooting from the field and 46.8 percent from three.

Probable for play-in tournament Nets head coach Steve Nash said Monday that Curry (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's play-in matchup against the Cavaliers, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Curry sat out Sunday's regular-season finale, but his absence was presumably precautionary. The sharpshooter has admitted he'll have to deal with the ongoing issue for the remainder of the season, but when available, he's been a reliable producer. Since joining the Nets, Curry has averaged 14.9 points on 49.3 percent shooting from the field and 46.8 percent from three.

Doesn't practice Monday Dragic (COVID-19 protocols) did not participate in Monday's practice as he remains in the league's health and safety protocols, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

Impact Dragic missed the last five games of the Nets' regular season after landing in the league's COVID-19 protocols on April 2, so it's unclear if he'll be cleared in time for Tuesday's play-in game against the Cavaliers. If he ultimately remains sidelined, Patty Mills and Cam Thomas would likely see increased roles in Brooklyn's backcourt.
