Enters starting lineup Sumner will start at point guard in place of Kyrie Irving (suspension), Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports

Impact Sumner alternated minutes with Irving in the team's previous game, logging four points and five assists in 22 minutes of action, and earned the role of Irving's replacement. Sumner is a great value in daily formats and is worth a speculative add in deeper leagues for the duration of Irving's suspension.

MRI comes back clean The Nets announced Friday that the results of Simmons' (knee) MRI scan were clean, but his knee was drained, and he's still dealing with swelling, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports...

Impact Simmons' status for Monday's game against Dallas remains uncertain, but he'll have the weekend to recover to see if the swelling goes down by then. While the results of the MRI are certainly encouraging, it wouldn't be surprising if Simmons misses additional games to ensure he's fully healthy once he returns. As long as Simmons is sidelined, Joe Harris should continue to start in his absence.

Expected to play in back-to-back Nets interim coach Jacque Vaughn said he expects Harris to play in Friday's game versus the Wizards and Saturday's game versus the Hornets, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

Impact If Harris were to miss either of the games, it would likely be Saturday's game versus Charlotte, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports. There was concern that Harris won't be able to play back-to-backs while working his way back from ankle surgery, but that doesn't appear to be the case early in the season. The sharp-shooting guard is averaging 6.7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 22.5 minutes across six games this campaign.

Impact Curry has already been ruled out for Friday's tilt with the Wizards, but it sounds like he has a good chance to return to the court for Saturday's game in Charlotte, his hometown. In his lone appearance this season, Curry failed to score but contributed six assists, two rebounds, one steal and one block in 17 minutes of action.
