MINNEAPOLIS — All the injured Nets who aren’t playing have put a heavier burden on those healthy few who are.
No player has taken on more unexpected responsibility than Garrett Temple. And over the past two weeks it’s clearly weighing on him, with the veteran struggling mightily on the offensive end.
Temple has been one of the Nets’ biggest surprises. But over his past eight games, he’s shot 32 percent, and just 25 percent from 3-point range.
And his funk has gotten deeper in his past five, at 26.6 percent overall and 24.3 percent from deep.
