Dorian Finney-Smith Out for Nets with Calf Injury
Dorian Finney-Smith is currently dealing with a calf injury and will not be playing for the Brooklyn Nets. This news comes after he was previously listed as questionable due to the same injury. The team has confirmed his status as ‘out’ for now, impacting their lineup.
What It Means
This injury affects both Dorian Finney-Smith and the Brooklyn Nets. He has been averaging 10.8 points per game this season, along with 4.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists. His shooting percentages are strong, with a field goal percentage of 47.4% and a three-point percentage of 45.2%. His absence leaves a gap in the team’s performance.
The Nets will need to rely on other players to fill in during his recovery period. Ziaire Williams and Noah Clowney are next in line on the depth chart for his position. Williams averages 8.6 points per game, while Clowney contributes 7.6 points per game. Their increased roles may help the team maintain its competitive edge while Finney-Smith heals.
