Kyrie Irving - Back in action Monday Irving will return to the starting lineup Tuesday against the Cavs, Billy Reinhardt of Nets Daily reports.

Impact After sitting out the Nets' last two home games against OKC and New Orleans, Irving will return to eligibility as the Nets begin a four-game road swing that includes stops in Washington D.C. (Wednesday), San Antonio (Friday) and Minnesota (Sunday). He'll start Monday alongside James Harden, Patty Mills, Kessler Edwards and Day'Ron Sharpe.

LaMarcus Aldridge - Will come off bench Aldridge will come off the bench Monday against the Cavs, Billy Reinhardt of Nets Daily reports.

Impact After missing the last five games with a foot injury, Aldridge will be back in the mix, but even with Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) out, the Nets will bring the veteran off the bench. Steve Nash will continue to roll with Day'Ron Sharpe at center. He'll be joined by Kessler Edwards, Patty Mills, Kyrie Irving and James Harden. Brooklyn is, of course, without Kevin Durant (knee).

DeAndre' Bembry - Late scratch Monday Bembry is out for Monday's game against Cleveland due to back spasms, Billy Reinhardt of NetsDaily.com reports.

Impact Bembry wasn't initially listed on the Nets' injury report, but he'll be held out due to a back issue. Bruce Brown, Kessler Edwards and David Duke should see increased run against the Cavaliers.

Joe Harris - Won't return during road trip Coach Steve Nash said Monday that Harris (ankle) won't play during the Nets' current road trip, Greg Logan of Newsday reports.

Impact Harris traveled with the Nets for their road trip, but he was just recently cleared to do light shooting. As a result, he'll need more time to get into shape before he's ready for game action. The 31-year-old should be sidelined until at least Jan. 25, when the team returns home to play the Lakers.

Nicolas Claxton - Ruled out Monday Claxton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Claxton will miss a fourth straight game due to left hamstring tightness, though head coach Steve Nash said the center is day-to-day and should be available at some point during the Nets' remaining three games of the road trip, per Chris Milholen of NetsDaily.com. The Nets will also be without Kevin Durant (knee), James Johnson (illness) and Paul Millsap (personal) in their frontcourt, but LaMarcus Aldridge (foot) will be ready to return from a five-game absence. With that said, Aldridge, Day'Ron Sharpe and Blake Griffin will likely cover most of the minutes at center Monday.

JANUARY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

LaMarcus Aldridge - Officially available Monday Aldridge (foot) is available for Monday's game against Cleveland.

Impact The 36-year-old missed the last five games due to right foot soreness but was probable ahead of Monday's contest. Since Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) is out, Aldridge could see additional playing time as long as he doesn't have any conditioning concerns.

Paul Millsap - Out Monday for personal matter Millsap has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Cavaliers while he tends to a personal matter, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

Impact The veteran big man previously went on a three-week personal leave in late October before rejoining the Nets, though it's unclear if Millsap's absence will be as lengthy this time around. Regardless, Millsap hasn't been a regular member of the rotation this season, appearing in just three of Brooklyn's 12 games since he cleared the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols Dec. 23.

JANUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

James Johnson - Sitting out second straight game Johnson (illness) is listed as out for Monday's game against the Cavaliers, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

Impact A non-COVID-19-related ailment will keep Johnson sidelined for the second game in a row. Meanwhile, Kevin Durant (knee) and Paul Millsap (personal) are also listed as out while Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) is considered questionable, so Brooklyn could be shorthanded in the frontcourt heading into a four-game week.

JANUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolas Claxton - Deemed questionable for Monday The Nets list Claxton (hamstring) as questionable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

Impact Brooklyn has already ruled out three other frontcourt players in Kevin Durant (knee), James Johnson (illness) and Paul Millsap (personal), but Claxton's availability heading into the Nets' four-game week is more up in the air. Meanwhile, LaMarcus Aldridge (foot) has been bumped up to probable following a five-game absence, so he, Day'Ron Sharpe and Blake Griffin would likely cover most of the minutes at center if Claxton is forced to miss a fourth straight game.
