Also ruled out for Wednesday's game Finney-Smith (ankle), who has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Jazz, has also been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against Phoenix, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Finney-Smith was slated to miss his first game since Dec. 27 during Monday's matchup, but he'll be out for at least two games. Coach Jacque Vaughn also said Monday that Finney-Smith's status for Friday's game against Philadelphia is up in the air. Royce O'Neale and Cameron Johnson are candidates to see increased roles while Finney-Smith is out.

Out for Monday Finney-Smith (ankle) will not play Monday versus Utah, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
Impact Finney-Smith will be sidelined with a sprained left ankle, marking his first absence since Dec. 27. Lonnie Walker has failed to exceed 14 minutes across each of his last five appearances, but he and Royce O'Neale could see upticks in usage. Additionally, Ben Simmons (back) is a candidate to return to the rotation on a minutes restriction Monday.

Impact Despite exiting the game early, Finney-Smith managed to make an impact, logging a positive 20 plus-minus with excellent shooting splits. While he's sidelined, Royce O'Neale and Lonnie Walker could pick up some extra minutes. Finney-Smith's next chance to play will come Monday against Utah.

Goes 1-of-8 from field Finney-Smith recorded three points (1-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 28 minutes during Friday's 130-112 victory over the Lakers.
Impact Finney-Smith managed just three points on 1-of-8 shooting, despite playing 28 minutes in the victory. He somewhat salvaged his night with three combined steals and blocks, providing limited streaming value. Although he is inside the top 150 for the season, Finney-Smith is not someone who needs to be on a roster in all standard leagues.

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.

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.
JANUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable to return Finney-Smith is deemed questionable for the remainder of Thursday's game versus the Nets due to an illness, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
Impact Finney-Smith recorded one block in 14 minutes before exiting Thursday's contest. If he's unable to return, Royce O'Neale and Trendon Watford are candidates to receive extended minutes.

Will play Tuesday Finney-Smith (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Impact As expected, Finney-Smith has been upgraded from probable to available despite left knee soreness. He's drawn back-to-back starts, averaging 6.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 28.5 minutes. While Finney-Smith is available Tuesday, his status for the second half of Brooklyn's back-to-back set Wednesday in Houston could be in jeopardy due to the lingering knee issue.
JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE
Probable for Tuesday Finney-Smith is probable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans with left knee soreness, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
Impact Finney-Smith has been battling soreness in his knee for a while, and if he does take the floor Tuesday, it's possible he could be held out Wednesday against Houston for the second leg of the back-to-back set.
JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Moves into starting lineup Finney-Smith will move into the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Wizards, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Impact Finney-Smith will replace Cam Thomas in the first unit as the Nets look to shake things up. Finney-Smith missed Wednesday's game against the Bucks to give his knee some extra rest, but he doesn't have any reported restrictions for Friday. In 17 starts this season, the veteran forward holds averages of 11.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2.4 three-pointers.

Good to go Friday Finney-Smith (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Wizards, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
Impact Finney-Smith missed Wednesday's game against the Bucks due to a sore left knee, but he was probable leading up to Friday's matchup. He'll likely be one of the top reserve options at forward against Washington.
DECEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Expected to play Friday Finney-Smith (knee) is probable for Friday's game versus the Wizards, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Impact Finney-Smith is expected to return to action Friday after missing the previous game with left knee soreness. Finney-Smith will likely resume his role as one of Brooklyn's top options at the forward position off the bench.
DECEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play Wednesday Finney-Smith (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Milwaukee.
Impact Finney-Smith was questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks due to a sore left knee, and he'll be forced to miss at least one matchup. Cameron Johnson (knee) and Nic Claxton (ankle) are also unavailable in the second half of the back-to-back set, so Royce O'Neale, Day'Ron Sharpe and Trendon Watford could see increased run.

Questionable for Wednesday Finney-Smith is questionable for Wednesday against the Bucks with left knee soreness, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Impact The Nets are playing in their second consecutive back-to-back set, and Wednesday is the second leg. Finney-Smith has been battling knee soreness for a while, and he played 33 minutes Tuesday night. The Nets are already very thin, as Spencer Dinwiddie (rest), Cam Johnson (knee) and Nicolas Claxton (ankle) are taking the night off.
DECEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
11 points in 33 minutes Finney-Smith notched 11 points (3-8 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 118-112 victory over Detroit.
Impact Finney-Smith exceeded 30 minutes for just the second time in the past 11 games, scoring double-digits for the fourth straight game. With that said, he has been outside the top 160 over the past two weeks, offering very little in terms of tangible production. He is fine to roster in deeper formats but as for standard leagues, there just isn't enough meat on the bone to warrant a permanent roster spot.
