Analysis: In up-and-down season, Nets got a moment to savor
All the Brooklyn Nets were missing were their leaders in salary, points, points per game, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks and 3-pointersAUGUST 4, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Playing in opener Kurucs (hip) is available for Friday's restart opener against the Magic, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.
Impact As expected, Kurucs has recovered enough from his bruised left hip to take the floor. With so many players not joining the Nets in Orlando, Kurucs should see an expanded role. In the six games this season in which he's garnered at least 20 minutes, he's averaged 8.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 steals.

Scores 17 as substitute Kurucs notched 17 points (5-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 25 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 124-119 scrimmage win over the Spurs.
Impact Kurucs registered 46 starts during his rookie season in 2018-19, and he is widely expected to feature as the team's starting power forward once the Nets resume their season July 31 against the Magic. This performance should undoubtedly boost his confidence after posting averages of just 4.2 points and 2.5 rebounds in 12.8 minutes per game across 39 appearances in 2019-20.

Could take on starting role Kurucs is expected to step in as the Nets' starting power forward when the team resumes its season July 31 versus the Magic, Marc Berman of the New York Post reports.
Impact The Nets have ruled out seven players for the season as the team trains in Orlando in anticipation of the NBA's restart at the Walt Disney World complex, and the personnel losses loom especially large in the frontcourt. Brooklyn will be without four potential options at power forward in Kevin Durant (Achilles), Taurean Prince (illness), Wilson Chandler (personal) and Nicolas Claxton (shoulder), while the recently signed Michael Beasley will have to serve a five-game suspension before he's eligible to play. All of those missing players leave Kurucs in a good position to handle a starting role moving forward, and head coach Jacque Vaughn confirmed that the 22-year-old worked on the top unit at Sunday's practice, per Greg Logan of Newsday. Kurucs has moved in and out of the rotation throughout his second NBA season, but he acquitted himself well in 46 starts as a rookie in 2018-19, averaging 9.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.1 triples and 1.0 assist in 23.0 minutes per game in those contests.
