This is a new injury for Porter, and the severity remains unclear. With Porter sitting this game out, the Nets could rely more on Jalen Wilson, Terance Mann and Ochai Agbaji.
Brooklyn has been managing Demin's workload since the preseason, as the guard has been dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left foot all year, and the team is proceeding with an abundance of caution to get the issue fully resolved. Demin averaged 10.3 points, 3.3 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 2.4 three-pointers in 25.2 minutes per contest through 52 games this season. With the rookie first-rounder's campaign finished, the Nets should turn to Nolan Traore and Ben Saraf to handle the bulk of the ball-handling duties to close out the season.
Williams joins a crowded group of injured players on the shelf for this contest. With this news, more minutes could be available for guys like Terance Mann and Jalen Wilson.
This is a tough blow for Sharpe, who was in the process of putting together one of the best campaigns of his young NBA career. He averaged 8.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals in 62 games. Both Danny Wolf and Josh Minott should be in the mix for backup center minutes with Sharpe sidelined.
Traore has been shouldering big workloads lately, so the Nets are giving him a maintenance day. Ben Saraf and Terence Mann could step into larger roles in the backcourt with this news.
