Nets' Ben Simmons Out With Calf Injury The guard will be re-evaluated by the team after the next three games.

NOVEMBER 30, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Expected out at least three games Simmons (knee) has been diagnosed with a left lateral upper calf strain and will miss at least the next three games, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Simmons was amid his best stretch of the season when he got injured. He'd started five straight games with averages of 13.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.2 blocks in 33.4 minutes. In his absence, we may see more minutes from Cam Thomas, Edmond Sumner, Joe Harris and others. The earliest Simmons could return is Dec. 7 against the Hornets.

Impact Watanabe will miss his sixth straight game Wednesday and will be out for at least another week due to his hamstring injury. With Ben Simmons (knee) also out, Joe Harris, Edmond Sumner and Markieff Morris are in line for extended minutes. Watanabe is averaging 8.1 points and 2.9 rebounds in 18.2 minutes across 14 games this season.

Won't play Wednesday Sharpe (illness) won't suit up for Wednesday's game versus the Wizards, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sharpe's absence is due to a non-COVID illness, so it seems unlikely he's facing a long-term stay on the sidelines. He hasn't been part of the rotation lately, so his absence shouldn't mean much from a fantasy standpoint. Sharpe's next chance to return arrives Friday versus the Raptors.

NOVEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Available Wednesday Duke (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against Washington, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

Impact Duke missed the last two games with a non-COVID illness but will be able to suit up for Wednesday's matchup. He's played single-digit minutes in 10 of his 13 appearances this year.

NOVEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with non-COVID illness Sharpe is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Wizards due to a non-COVID illness, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Sharpe was a late addition to the injury report due to an ailment and will likely be a game-time decision ahead of Wednesday's matchup. The backup big man hasn't seen the floor in three straight games, so his potential absence shouldn't have a significant impact on Brooklyn's rotation.

NOVEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed questionable for Wednesday Duke (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Washington, Christian Arnold of the Associated Press reports.

Impact Duke has missed back-to-back games due to an illness, but he's being listed as questionable for the first time since picking up the aliment. Regardless, he hasn't been a regular part of Brooklyn's rotation, so his availability shouldn't have a significant impact on the Nets.

NOVEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out Wednesday Watanabe (hamstring) is out Wednesday against the Wizards, Christian Arnold of the Associated Press reports.

Impact Watanabe is out for a sixth straight game. Ben Simmons (knee) is out as well. More minutes could be in store for Joe Harris, Edmond Sumner, Markieff Morris and others.

NOVEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Wednesday Simmons (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against Washington, David Aldridge of The Athletic reports.

Impact Simmons left Monday's matchup against Orlando due to left knee soreness and will be sidelined for at least one additional game. In his absence, more minutes could be in store for Cam Thomas, Edmond Sumner and Joe Harris. Simmons' next chance to suit up will arrive Friday against Toronto.

Scores 20 points in win Irving notched 20 points (9-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one block in 39 minutes during Monday's 109-102 win over the Magic.

Impact Irving has now scored at least 20 points in five games in a row, but that's where the positives end for him in this game since he didn't deliver major contributions in other categories. Irving is averaging 21.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game since returning from his suspension.

NOVEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Posts double-double in win Claxton ended Monday's 109-102 win over the Magic with 17 points (7-10 FG, 3-5 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 36 minutes.

Impact Since missing the Nov. 20 game against the Grizzlies due to personal reasons, Claxton has been on a tear and continues to show why he won the starting center role. He's scored in double digits in each of his last five appearances, posting three double-doubles and recording multiple blocks four times in that span. Claxton has six double-doubles in November and is averaging 11.9 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game in the current month.

NOVEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Goes off for season-high 45 Durant provided 45 points (19-24 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals in 39 minutes during Monday's 109-102 victory over the Magic.

Impact From an efficiency perspective, Durant had perhaps one of the best games of his career, as he missed only five of his 24 field-goal attempts en route to his highest-scoring mark of the season. While the Nets have had an up-and-down start to the year, to say the least, Durant's production has remained elite. Outside of a slight dip in three-point percentage (34.6% 3Pt), Durant is essentially having a vintage season, posting 30.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.6 threes per game while shooting a career-best 54.8 percent from the floor and 91.9 percent from the line (also a career best).
