Impact Cam Thomas is back with the starters after missing six straight games, but he will have restrictions. Given how shorthanded the Nets are, Smith is expected to maintain a significant role with the second unit.

Cameron Johnson - Also out Sunday Johnson (ankle) will not play Sunday versus the Cavaliers, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Impact Johnson is sitting out Saturday against the Hornets, and he won't join the team for Sunday which will mark his third straight game on the sidelines. The good news for Brooklyn is that they will be getting Cam Thomas (ankle/foot) back into the mix.

Lonnie Walker IV - Iffy for Saturday Walker (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game versus the Hornets, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Impact Walker continues to battle a non-COVID illness but was able to play through it Thursday. If Walker is ruled out, Jalen Wilson and Dennis Schroder are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Cam Thomas - Good to go against Charlotte Thomas (ankle/foot) is available for Saturday's game versus the Hornets, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
Impact Thomas will return to action Saturday after missing Brooklyn's last six games due to ankle and foot injuries. While Thomas has started in each of his last 13 appearances, it wouldn't be surprising for the Nets to put him on a minutes restriction.
MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE
Day'Ron Sharpe - Good to go Sharpe (wrist) is available for Saturday's game in Charlotte, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
Impact Sharpe was given a probable designation on Brooklyn's initial injury report, so this progress is not surprising. He is returning from a two-game absence stemming from a wrist injury. The 22-year-old has averaged 6.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.3 triples across 14.0 minutes over his last nine games.

Cam Thomas - Will likely return Saturday Thomas (ankle/foot) is probable for Saturday's matchup against the Hornets, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Impact Thomas is expected to snap his six-game absence Saturday, but he'll presumably be limited in his return. The sharpshooter started 13 straight games before his injury and averaged 21.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.2 steals in 33.3 minutes during that stretch.

Day'Ron Sharpe - Likely to play Saturday Sharpe (wrist) is probable for Saturday's game versus Charlotte, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Impact Sharpe is expected to return to action Saturday after missing Brooklyn's previous two contests with a right wrist contusion. If Sharpe is further upgraded to available, he should serve as Brooklyn's primary backup center behind Nic Claxton.
MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE
Cameron Johnson - Remains out Saturday Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Impact Johnson will miss a second straight game after leaving Tuesday's win over the 76ers due to a right ankle sprain. He can be considered questionable, at best, for Sunday's matchup in Cleveland. While Johnson remains out, the Nets should get some offense firepower back, as Cam Thomas (ankle/foot) has been upgraded to probable.

Lonnie Walker IV - Hits for 21 off bench Walker posted 21 points (8-18 FG, 5-14 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in 29 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 118-112 loss to Detroit.
Impact It was Walker's best scoring performance since he dropped 26 points against the Sixers back on Nov. 19. The 25-year-old forward has seen big minutes the last couple games due to an ankle injury to Cameron Johnson, but he's been an effective bench weapon for the Nets over the last month, averaging 10.5 points, 2.6 boards, 2.4 threes and 1.0 assists in only 18.2 minutes a contest since Feb. 13.
MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE
Nic Claxton - Double-double in Detroit Claxton notched 15 points (5-8 FG, 5-7 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal in 34 minutes during Thursday's 118-112 loss to the Pistons.
Impact It's his third double-double in the last four games and 23rd of the season, but it's Claxton's defensive efforts that stand out the most. The 24-year-old center has recorded multiple blocks nine times in 16 contests since the beginning of February, a stretch in which he's averaging 11.6 points, 8.6 boards, 2.3 blocks and 2.1 assists while shooting 61.4 percent from the floor.
MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE
Dennis Schroder - Pours in season-high 31 in loss Schroder amassed 31 points (12-17 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound and eight assists in 39 minutes during Thursday's 118-112 loss to the Pistons.
Impact It was a season scoring high for Schroder, who was making his seventh straight start while Cam Thomas recovers from an ankle/foot sprain. Schroder may not give the job back once Thomas returns -- over that seven-game stretch, the 30-year-old journeyman guard is averaging 19.1 points, 6.7 assists, 3.1 threes and 2.6 boards while shooting 54.3 percent from the floor and a stunning 61.1 percent (22-for-36) from beyond the arc.
