Harden has missed a consecutive streak of games with a hamstring issue. However, Durant, who had missed a large chunk of time, started to get back in the groove and then got hurt on Sunday in Miami against the Heat.

After going 3-3 from the field in the first quarter, he exited the game and did not return. The Nets announced he had a left thigh contusion. Kyrie Irving went on to score 20 points and pass out nine assists, and Landry Shamet scored 30 points off the bench.

The Nets lost 109-107.

Right now, the Nets are in the second seed in the Eastern Conference and have put themselves in a good spot so that injuries in the regular seasons do not mean much for their playoff position. Once the post-season starts, their long string of injuries will need to get under control.
