GORAN DRAGIC NEWS

Set to start Thursday Dragic will start Thursday against the Heat, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Dragic will make his first start with the Nets on the same night Kevin Durant (knee) is returning to the lineup. Patty Mills will return to his bench role and could likely share a similar workload to Dragic. Expect Dragic to remain in the starting lineup when Kyrie Irving is unavailable.

Playing-time restriction in place Head coach Steve Nash said Dragic will receive a similar workload Monday against the Raptors as he did in his Nets debut during Saturday's win over the Bucks, Alex Schiffer of The...

Impact Considering Dragic's debut marked his first game action since Nov. 13, the Nets didn't ask him to take on significant playing time, with the veteran guard logging just 14 minutes off the bench. Dragic should see a slight uptick in minutes Monday, but because the game marks the front end of a home-and-home back-to-back set with Toronto, don't expect the 35-year-old to be overextended even though Kyrie Irving (ineligible) is out of the lineup.

Scores six points in Nets debut Dragic recorded six points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 14 minutes during Saturday's 126-123 win over Milwaukee.

Impact Dragic hadn't played in a game since Nov. 13, so it's no surprise that he showed signs of rust in his first contest as a Net. The veteran point guard did well enough, though, draining a three-pointer and keeping clean in the turnover department. Dragic will likely see his role increase as the season moves on, though possibly not to the point that he's a must-roster fantasy asset.

Goran Dragic makes Nets debut, Kevin Durant's return not far behind

With Goran Dragic making his debut and Kevin Durant's return imminent, the Nets have reinforcements on the way.

Available Saturday Dragic (conditioning) will play Saturday against the Bucks, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Dragic signed with the Nets on Monday after agreeing to a buyout with the Spurs, and he'll make his first appearance with his new team during Saturday's matchup. He's made just one appearance since late October, so he'll have his playing time monitored against Milwaukee, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports. However, Dragic should have the opportunity to carve out fairly significant minutes in the backcourt since Ben Simmons (conditioning) remains sidelined and Kyrie Irving's availability is currently limited to road games.

FEBRUARY 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to debut Saturday Dragic (conditioning) is probable for Saturday's game against the Bucks, Michael Grady of YES Network reports.

Impact Dragic's conditioning is up to par after last playing in mid-November, so he should debut for Brooklyn on Saturday. He figures to be a significant part of the rotation for the rest of the season, especially with Ben Simmons' (conditioning) absence and Kyrie Irving's lack of availability for home games factored in. It's possible his minutes will be limited Saturday, but he should be eased into a full workload sooner than later. Last season with the Heat, he saw 26.7 minutes per game and averaged 13.4 points, 4.4 assists and 3.4 rebounds. That seems like a best-case scenario for the veteran this year.

Impact Nash said he's not completing closing the door on Dragic suiting up against Milwaukee, but since the 35-year-old hasn't played in a game since Nov. 13, the Nets don't appear eager to rush him through his ramp-up program. After the game in Milwaukee, the Nets will return to Brooklyn on Sunday, when Dragic should get the opportunity to practice with his new team once again. If the Nets are satisfied with Dragic's conditioning after that session, he could make his team debut Monday versus the Raptors.

Won't make Nets debut Thursday Dragic (conditioning) will not make his Nets debut Thursday against Boston, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

Impact The veteran guard just joined the Nets earlier in the week and hasn't appeared in an NBA game since mid-November, so he'll need some time to work his way into shape before returning to game action. Coach Steve Nash -- a former teammate of Dragic's in Phoenix -- said he "doesn't think it will be long" until Dragic debuts, so the 35-year-old should be considered day-to-day.
