So with another starter down for Brooklyn, it’s hard to envision the Nets getting back into this series down 2-0. Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot should remain in the starting lineup while a replacement for Harris hasn’t been named. TLC is the biggest benefactor along with Garrett Temple with Harris out the next two games.

At this point it will be tough for Harris to come back this season unless the Nets push their series against the Toronto Raptors to 6 or 7 game.
Down 2-0 to the Raptors, Nets would have to push this series to a Game 6 or Game 7 for Harris to have a chance to return, quarantine and play again based on circumstances of departure, sources tell ESPN. https://t.co/V3aohduV5i
