James Harden will sit out of Wednesday’s matchup between the Brooklyn Nets and Utah Jazz due to a neck injury. Playing on the second leg of a back-to-back, the Nets will be without Harden, Kyrie Irving and Blake Griffin.
Harden has been a primary playmaker for the Nets this season. Since his arrival in January, he has averaged 38 minutes, scoring 25 points, eight rebounds and 11 assists per game. He played in Tuesday’s 116-112 win against the Portland Trailblazers, playing 40 minutes, scoring 25 points, seven rebounds and 17 assists.
Expect Bruce Brown to see an uptick in production for tonight’s game.
