Harris, Curry to sit out Nets’ opener
Sharpshooters sidelined by injuries vs. New Orleans
DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — Joe Harris sat out all but 14 games last season.
So missing Opening Night at Downtown’s Barclays Center Wednesday has to be disappointing for Brooklyn’s long-range specialist as the Nets prepare to host the New Orleans Pelicans before what should be a capacity crowd on the corner of Atlantic and Flatbush.
“It’s well within the realm of normalcy for guys to have little hiccups on their way back from surgery,” Brooklyn head coach Steve Nash explained at practice last weekend as Harris continued to rehab his sore left foot.
