Seth Curry - 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.

Seth Curry - 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.

Goran Dragic - 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.
