Westbrook was asked about the back issue on Friday.

"It comes and goes," said Westbrook. "I'm not accustomed to sitting down for long stretches and getting up and then like moving quickly. It kind of stiffens up a little bit, and then kind of moving into the next night, I woke up, same thing, just kind of real [stiff]. And so for me that's triggered from some other places on my body, maybe my hips and different things so I want to make sure that I'm doing all the proper things and making sure I can stay healthy and be my best for my teammates when I'm on the floor."

LMAO i love this.

Kyrie Irving is eligible to play 0 of the Nets’ next 4 games, only 3 of their next 10, and only 8 of their remaining games all season.

Meanwhile, the Nets have lost 11 in a row, whether he plays or not. They have fallen to 8th seed, which if they remained there, would be a home play-in game, in which Irving currently couldn't play in.

Of course questions remain if NYC will drop their mandate or not.

Kevin Durant Gives Update on Injury

Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant is hopeful to return shortly after the All-Star Break

They are thinking shortly after all star break

I only read he was amping up rehab soon, and would return sometime after the AS break, but no definitive timeline. AS break can be end of the month, early next month, or even longer.

If he comes back by March 1st, that's plenty of games for the Nets to climb back into the standings a bit.

With no KD, I don't see Simmons saving them. History says Simmons will struggle his first few weeks playing.

Something random I noticed...

Between 2/9 - 2/25, the Lakers play only 2 games. I checked several other teams, and almost all of them play 5 games during that same stretch.

Looks like they gave the old Lakers team a nice mid-season break.

Seriously? They built in Lebron’s load management?

Damn, I feel bad for Davis. This is always a nightmare scenario when playing.

Anthony Davis really can't catch a break anymore.

And bad news for the Bulls

I find the worse news to be as of now, Bulls could play the Nets in the 1st round. But who knows, maybe the Nets will win enough games and the Bulls will lose enough games to avoid that matchup
