Is Dennis Schroder playing tonight against San Antonio Spurs? Latest on newly traded guard’s status

Dennis Schroder joined the Brooklyn Nets from the Toronto Raptors during Thursday's NBA Trade Deadline. The German star guard and FIBA World Cup champion is expected to make his debut with his new team Saturday when the Nets host the San Antonio Spurs at Barclays Center.

Dennis Schroder is not part of the team's official injury report, so he will be good to go for the matchup. Still, the Nets are expected to have a depleted roster, as their injury report is full.

Cam Johnson (adductor), Day'Ron Sharpe (knee) and Darin Whitehead (shin) are out with injuries, while Lonnie Walker is expected to play, even though he is dealing with a hamstring injury.

Brooklyn is hopeful the addition of Dennis Schroder will help it turn things around. The Nets are 11th in the East with a 20-31 record and have lost three in a row. They are 2.5 games behind the Atlanta Hawks, who hold the final play-in spot with a 23-29 record.

"I have utmost faith in this group to go out there and put a sustainable product on the floor. I mean, this going to be a goal here, that we can compete night in and night out, something that the fans can get behind," GM Sean Marks said, via NBA.com, as the Nets have lost three in a row and a playoff spot is in jeopardy.
