Nets List Six Players on Injury Report for Bout with Trail Blazers

The Brooklyn Nets are set to face off against the Portland Trail Blazers tonight, likely looking to continue positioning themselves for the 2026 NBA Draft.

After missteps from the Kings, which involved the playing of DeMar DeRozan versus the Jazz, the Nets now have top-three odds, good for a shared 14% chance at the No. 1 overall pick. It won't be easy, but Brooklyn will need to continue prioritizing the draft above all else as the season draws to a close, especially as others make pushes for the top odds.

Their current odds would likely land them their best pick in decades, but the Nets still have a chance to climb even higher, just a half-game back from Washington in the reverse two-seed, and 2.5 games back from league-worst Indiana.

Luckily for Brooklyn, the Trail Blazers are making a push for the West Play-In, and will be looking to win tonight to further boost morale.

Here are the injury reports for both the Nets and Trail Blazers:

Brooklyn Nets injuries:

Noah Clowney — Out: Rest
