Ben Simmons - Will travel with team Simmons (back) will travel with the Nets during their upcoming three-game road trip, which starts Jan. 17 vs. the Trail Blazers and ends Jan. 21 vs. the Clippers.

Impact After slowly ramping up his activity to return from his injury, Simmons looks to complete the "home stretch" of his progression, which may include 5-on-5 action. He has only appeared in six games thus far, averaging 6.5 points, 10.8 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 0.8 blocks and 0.5 steals across 31.7 minutes.

Lonnie Walker IV - On minute restriction Monday Walker will have a minutes restriction in Monday's game against Miami as he continues ramping up in his fourth game back following a 17-game absence due to a hamstring injury, Erik...

Impact Walker logged 25 minutes in Brooklyn's loss to Cleveland in Paris on Thursday, but coach Jacque Vaughn expressed that he was comfortable giving Walker extended run given the Nets' light week due to the travel circumstances. Vaughn didn't specify what Walker's workload would be, although he appears to be capped in the 20-25 minutes range at this time.

Dariq Whitehead - Not available Monday Whitehead is listed as out for Monday's game against the Heat for right foot injury maintenance.

Impact Whitehead hadn't played in a game at the G League level since last Wednesday prior to his call-up to Brooklyn earlier Monday, so his lack of availability comes as somewhat of a surprise. The Nets have eased the rookie first-round pick along slowly this season after he underwent surgery on his right foot in June, as he's regularly taken games off during particularly busy portions of the G League schedule.

Dariq Whitehead - Recalled from G League Brooklyn recalled Whitehead (undisclosed) from the Long Island Nets of the G league on Monday.

Impact Whitehead didn't play in Saturday's 116-93 loss to Stockton for undisclosed reasons, and it remains to be seen if he'll be available for Brooklyn's game against Miami on Monday. If he is cleared to suit up, it will likely be in a limited capacity.

Dorian Finney-Smith - Removed from injury report Finney-Smith (ilness) has been cleared to play Monday against Miami.

Impact Finney-Smith carried no injury destination in Sunday afternoon's injury report, which aligns with coach Jacque Vaughn's statements from earlier in the day that Finney-Smith was a full participant at practice. The 30-year-old is averaging 9.6 points and 4.7 rebounds in 28.4 minutes across 35 appearances this season, although his workload has been trending downward of late.

Dorian Finney-Smith - Shakes off illness Nets head coach Jacque Vaughn said Finney-Smith (illness) was a full participant in Sunday's practice, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Impact In the Nets' most recent game Thursday in Paris, Finney-Smith was limited to 14 minutes -- his fewest of the season -- in a 111-102 loss to the Cavaliers while he was dealing with an illness. Finney-Smith's condition seems to have taken a turn for the better since the Nets returned to the United States, and with a full practice under his belt, the veteran forward isn't expected to face any restrictions for Monday's game versus the Heat.

Impact Walker connected on a team-high mark from three while adding a trio of rebounds and ending as one of three Nets with 20 or more points. Walker has scored 20 or more points in six games this year, connecting on four or more threes in four contests.
