MILWAUKEE — Dorian Finney-Smith’s left calf contusion is directly related to his earlier sprained ankle, an injury he admitted he made worse by pushing through it.
That’s why the Nets are protecting their forward from himself, sitting him for a third straight game in Thursday’s 111-105 win in Milwaukee.
“Yeah, nothing happened. It was discomfort, and obviously, we’re not going to force it,” head coach Jordi Fernandez said. “We want him to be 200 percent, and he was disappointed because he was so excited to play. And he really wants to help the guys. And he still does it, like you said, with his voice. I’m pretty sure he’ll do his best. But again, we’ll assess [Friday], and we’ll see where he’s at.”
