Seth Curry - Ruled out Tuesday Curry (ankle) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Curry's sore left ankle will keep him sidelined for the second game in a row, and Nets head coach Steve Nash suggested Monday that the veteran shooting guard could be in danger of missing the entire final week of the season due to the injury. The Nets seem content to evaluate Curry on a game-by-game basis for the time being, and his absence Tuesday should open up more playing time for Patty Mills and Cam Thomas.

Seth Curry - Questionable Tuesday Curry (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Houston, Alec Sturm of NetsDaily.com reports.

Impact Nets head coach Steve Nash said Monday that the Nets are contemplating shutting Curry down for the final four games of the regular season, but it remains unclear if a potential week off would have a significant impact on the sharpshooter's lingering ankle issues. If he's sidelined for a second straight game, Cam Thomas and Patty Mills would likely be candidates for increased roles once again.

Seth Curry - May be shut down for regular season Nets head coach Steve Nash said Monday that the Nets are still trying to figure out if they should shut down Curry (ankle) for the final week of the regular season, Cassidy Hubbart...

Impact Curry was sidelined for a three-game stretch in mid-March due to the ankle injury and aggravated the issue in his second game back, which caused him to miss the Nets' subsequent contest. After finishing just one of his last five appearances, the sharpshooter admitted that he'll likely have to deal with pain in his ankle for the remainder of the season, but he had no intentions of being shut down for an extended period. However, Curry was out again Saturday against Atlanta following four straight appearances, which appears to have raised some concerns among Brooklyn's brass. The Nets have already locked in a spot in the play-in tournament, but they are only one game back of the eighth seed with four games remaining. Curry has averaged 15.1 points on 47.7 percent shooting from beyond the arc since joining Brooklyn, so making sure he's as close to 100 percent for the playoffs is likely extremely important to the Nets' chances of advancing, though it's unclear if a week off will have a significant impact on Curry's lingering ankle issues.
