Brooklyn Nets Injury Report: Latest on D'Angelo Russell and Cam Thomas' status vs Indiana Pacers (March. 22)

The Brooklyn Nets face a difficult task as they prepare to play the Indiana Pacers at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Trailing 1-2 in the season series, the Nets will aim to even things up. However, a depleted roster makes that goal seem improbable as key contributors D’Angelo Russell and Cam Thomas will be sidelined.

Russell is officially listed out due to a lingering ankle injury he's managing. This injury dates back to the Feb. 20 matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers, after which he missed five straight games — the Nets went just 1-4 during this stretch.

Russell did participate in each of the past two games, averaging 20 points and 6.5 assists in over 30 minutes per contest.

Cam Thomas is another key offensive piece for the Nets who is out. Thomas, who was in the midst of a career-best season, suffered a left hamstring strain during a Mar. 13 clash against the Chicago Bulls.

This marks his third hamstring injury of the campaign, resulting in the coaching staff shutting him down for the remainder of the season.

Apart from De’Anthony Melton who hasn't played a game for the team this season, the Brooklyn Nets have also added Ziaire Williams to their injury report. The young forward is listed as “questionable” for Saturday’s game due to a hamstring injury.

To break their two-game losing streak and close the gap on the 11th-seeded Toronto Raptors, the Nets will need a major performance from Cameron Johnson. Having scored 26 points in the previous contest against the Pacers, one can expect the forward to carry the offensive load.
