Ziaire Williams - Moves back to second unit Williams is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Knicks, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
Ben Simmons - Starting Friday Simmons is in the Nets' starting lineup for Friday's game against the Knicks, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
Impact Simmons will return Friday from a one-game absence due to calf tightness, and he will start at center as Nic Claxton is sidelined due to a lower back strain. Across his six starts this season, Simmons has averaged 5.8 points, 6.2 assists and 6.0 rebounds over 24.5 minutes per game.

Dorian Finney-Smith - Set to play Friday Finney-Smith (ankle) is available for Friday's game versus the Knicks, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Impact Finney-Smith has been upgraded from probable to available Friday after missing Brooklyn's previous two contests with an ankle injury. Over his first 10 appearances of the season, Finney-Smith is averaging 10.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 steals in 29.0 minutes.
5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Nic Claxton - Will miss at least one week Claxton (back) will miss at least one week with a lower back strain and will receive an epidural injection Friday, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Impact The Nets slowly worked Claxton back from hamstring soreness earlier in the season, and he will now miss time with a strained lower back. The big man has appeared in seven straight contests (five starts) in November, during which he has averaged 8.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 0.9 blocks across 27.0 minutes per game. His next chance to feature will come next Friday against the 76ers.

Trendon Watford - Won't play Friday Watford (hamstring) is out for Friday's game versus the Knicks.
Impact Watford was set to make his season debut earlier in November but suffered a setback to his hamstring injury that has kept him sidelined. Watford's next chance to suit up is Sunday's rematch with the Knicks.
6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Bojan Bogdanovic - Another absence coming Bogdanovic (foot) won't play in Friday's game versus the Knicks.
Impact Bogdanovic has missed the beginning of the 2024-25 campaign while recovering from left foot surgery. Until the Nets provide an update on the veteran forward's return timetable, he can be considered week-to-week.

Dorian Finney-Smith - Likely to play against Knicks Finney-Smith (ankle) is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Knicks, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Impact Finney-Smith is expected to return to action Friday after missing Brooklyn's previous two outings. If Finney-Smith is further upgraded to available, he will likely reclaim his starting spot from Ziaire Williams.
6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Nic Claxton - Iffy for Friday Claxton is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Knicks due to lower back tightness, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Impact It's unclear when Claxton suffered his back injury, but it could cause him to miss his first contest since Oct. 30. If Claxton is unable to suit up, Ben Simmons will likely draw the start at center against the Knicks.

Ben Simmons - Good to go Friday Simmons (calf) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus the Knicks, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Impact Simmons will return to action Friday after missing Brooklyn's previous contest with left calf tightness. If Nic Claxton (back) is downgraded from questionable to out, Simmons could be in store for a start against the Knicks.

Ben Simmons - Imaging comes back clean An MRI on Simmon's left calf came back clean Thursday and he could play in Friday's game versus the Knicks, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Impact Simmons missed Brooklyn's previous contest with left calf tightness but has returned to working out. While fantasy managers should look out for an official injury report clarifying Simmons' status for Friday's game, it wouldn't be surprising for the Nets to play it cautiously with the 28-year-old.

Nic Claxton - Held in check against Boston Claxton finished Wednesday's 139-114 loss to the Celtics with three points (1-3 FG, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and two assists over 24 minutes.
Impact After logging at least 30 minutes in each of his last two outings, Claxton played just 24 minutes during Wednesday's blowout loss. The 25-year-old center also recorded his fewest rebounds since being inserted into Brooklyn's starting five.
6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Wilson - Another night in double figures Wilson posted 11 points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 139-114 loss to Boston.
Impact Wilson scored in double digits for a second straight game, and he notched his first steal since Nov. 1 against Chicago. He's been shouldering a steady workload off the bench for the Nets, averaging 21.7 minutes along with 8.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists in November (seven appearances).
6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Keon Johnson - Scores in double figures Johnson provided 12 points (4-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt), five rebounds and two blocks across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 139-114 loss to the Celtics.
Impact Johnson got hot from beyond the arc in this one, resulting in his first double-digit scoring night since Nov. 1 against the Bulls. However, playing time has been hard to come by for Johnson in the early stages of the 2024-25 season, as he's averaging 13.3 minutes through his first 11 appearances of the campaign. That could change if he's able to stack decent performances like this one, but until then, production will be difficult to rely on.
6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Ziaire Williams - Leads way with 23 points Williams closed Wednesday's 139-114 loss to the Celtics with 23 points (8-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 26 minutes.
Impact Williams continues to play well in place of Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle), an unlikely outcome considering Williams was averaging 8.3 points in his first 10 appearances off the bench. The Stanford product has tallied 12 and now 23 points in two straight starts while collecting 15 total rebounds along the way. Given Williams' recent success, look for him to draw another start Friday in New York if Finney-Smith can't go.
