The Brooklyn Nets are preparing to take on the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 5 in Brooklyn on Tuesday evening, but star point guard Kyrie Irving will sit out with an ankle injury.
With the series tied at two apiece, Brooklyn will have to rely on James Harden and Kevin Durant to carry the load, two players who have proven their excellence over the past decade. They are more than capable of carrying the team in the absence of Irving, but any more injuries could stir a bit of trouble for a team that lost a two-win lead in the series over the weekend.
