Kevin Durant may have to put in a lot of work for the Brooklyn Nets in Game 5 on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Guard Kyrie Irving will not play in the contest due to an ankle injury, Steve Nash announced Monday.
On top of that, James Harden, who left Game 1 with a hamstring injury, will also miss the contest.
The news comes at a tough time for the Nets. After jumping out to a 2-0 lead in the series, Brooklyn has dropped its last two games to Milwaukee.
