Back spasms

Garnett did not travel to Miami and will miss his seventh consecutive game on Wednesday, as he continues to deal with lingering back spasms. Garnett was expected to return to the lineup on Monday, but was a late scratch after his back tightened up during warmups and the Nets aren't going to push him to play until he's clearly 100 percent. Mason Plumlee will continue to start in his stead, with Andray Blatche and Jason Collins also seeing additional run at center.

Yesterday 6:40 PM

Back spasms

Garnett is a late scratch on Monday, just minutes before tip, after previous expectations that he would return to the Nets' lineup vs. the Raptors. Monday is his sixth consecutive missed game, and he was not expected to be at 100 percent even when he was headed for an activation. Mason Plumlee will start, with Andray Blatche and Jason Collins to also see the minutes at center for the Nets.

Back spasms

Garnett is out once again on Sunday, his fifth straight game missed due to back spasms. His minutes vs. the Kings will be dispersed between Mason Plumlee, Andray Blatche, and Jason Collins. The Nets will continue to treat Garnett with kid gloves, although he's yet to be called anything beyond day-to-day during this streak of missed games. Coach Jason Kidd said that KG looked good in shootaround today and has a chance to play on Monday vs. Toronto.

Back spasms

Garnett will not travel to Boston for Friday's game due to lingering back spasms and will be out for a fourth straight game. The Nets will continue to employ a platoon at center, with Miles Plumlee, Andray Blatche, and Jason Collins seeing the minutes while KG is held out. The Nets are winning and won't rush KG back in any case, and his limited role won't change even after he's back and healthy.

Back spasms

KG has been ruled out for his third straight game on Wednesday with back spasms. Coach Jason Kidd said KG is feeling better, but they are going to take it easy on him, particularly with the team in the midst of a five-game week. Mason Plumlee will once again draw the start at center in Garnett's place, with Andray Blatche and Jason Collins seeing additional minutes in reserve.

Back spasms

Garnett is out for a second consecutive game on Monday due to back spasms. Mason Plumlee will once again start, with Andray Blatche and Jason Collins to see extra minutes in reserve. Coach Jason Kidd said that Garnett is feeling better, but they are going to take it easy on him, particularly with the team in the midst of a five-game week. Garnett will remain in his limited role, at best, no matter what state of health he's in from game-to-game.

Back spasms

Garnett has been ruled out for Saturday's game vs. the Bucks due to back spasms. Coach Jason Kidd doesn't think his back spasms are a long-term issue. "This is his rest day, so we’ll get him some proper rest and see how he feels tomorrow," said Kidd. Mason Plumlee will draw the start at center in KG's place, with Andray Blatche and Jason Collins to see additional reserve minutes as well.

Rest (back-to-back)

Garnett will play and start on Thursday vs. the Nuggets in what is the second game of a back-to-back. He had previously sat out in the second half of two of the Nets' last three back-to-backs, but wanted to play in this one as the Nets are coming off a 44-point blowout loss to the Blazers.

2/23/2014 6:37 PM

Rest (back-to-back)

Garnett will not be active on Sunday vs. the Lakers, the second game of a back-to-back. Mason Plumlee will replace KG as the starter, with Andray Blatche to also see additional run. The newly-signed Jason Collins will be available to play a few minutes, as well.

2/13/2014 5:32 PM

Rest (back-to-back)

Garnett will start in Thursday's game vs. the Bulls in the second game of a back-to-back. He has been on a tight minutes cap as of late so don't expect him to see much more than the 14 minutes he has averaged over the past two games.

1/25/2014 12:37 PM	mbuser		0% (0)	Pretty quick turnaround from the previous eight games, during which he shot 34% FG.
1/25/2014 1:55 AM	#14678		0% (0)	Bump in FG%? 8 straight games with at least 50%.
1/23/2014 10:39 AM	johnd2442		100% (10)	Garnett will never be a guy just "collecting a paycheck". To write something like that, I'm led to believe that you've never seen him play. The man has a lot of miles & an unclear role on the Nets.
1/23/2014 9:52 AM	jlongrc		0% (7)	This is what a guy just collecting his paycheck looks like. I'll miss the old KG
12/21/2013 10:18 AM	kslight		100% (2)	We will have to adjust shot distribution on the team, but when Lopez missed games last week, Garnet was less than 20 m/g.
12/21/2013 10:09 AM	boyyyer		0% (0)	more minutes and shots with lopez out?
12/16/2013 7:53 PM	mbuser		100% (1)	Seems like not so long ago he was still eating lightning and crapping thunder. But no minutes and no shot is a bad combination..
12/16/2013 2:36 PM	#14370		100% (3)	It's over Rock!
12/16/2013 2:13 AM	jdjohnson		100% (7)	I understand holding out, I mean, It's KG…but it's time to downgrade to his real potential for the season.
12/6/2013 1:07 AM	k-rok		100% (8)	Not happening.
11/9/2013 2:36 PM	mbuser		50% (2)	But all is not lost here after just five games, and KG can still do some things even with actively-managed minutes. What I'm getting at is to aim higher than Adams.
11/9/2013 3:14 AM	profuse101		100% (3)	Yea, lets talk dropping as K-rok asked. Should I be dropping this guy for say a Steven Adams type?
11/9/2013 3:10 AM	mbuser		100% (1)	He's clearly not rosterable in many scenarios if Kidd barely plays him in between planned DNPs. This guy was a per-minute jeggernaut last season(!), but looks lost out there right now.
11/9/2013 12:10 AM	Imadogg		100% (1)	Came here to talk KG and see he was just mentioned. His projections are absurd, time for a huge downgrade. Not near 29mpg
11/9/2013 12:09 AM	k-rok		100% (4)	Looked bad AGAIN tonight...is he droppable?
11/5/2013 11:56 PM	mbuser		0% (0)	Back-to-back blowouts and Kidd sat him down. Could be headed for a rest game this weekend (Fri/Sat b2b).
11/5/2013 11:21 PM	yahlay		100% (4)	I knew it was going to be bad but not this bad. 22 min over 4 games.
10/21/2013 5:55 PM	mbuser		100% (1)	He's going to be actively rested, so the downside is already factored in. The preseason means nothing to players like KG and Pierce.
10/21/2013 4:58 PM	liam4		0% (0)	any reason to worry on 30 min/g given preseason and stacked roster?
10/15/2013 5:21 PM	mbuser		100% (1)	One is straight per-game projections based on z-scores (ours) and the other is a subjective pre-rank (theirs). He's #93 on our Top Players list.
10/15/2013 5:04 PM	ranma08		100% (1)	Why is there such a huge disparity between your rank (34) and Yahoo's (74)???
4/3/2013 11:55 AM	mbuser		100% (2)	Friday's game isn't out of the question, that would be two weeks.
4/3/2013 11:04 AM	pocket flask		50% (2)	Any chance he plays this week?
3/25/2013 12:39 PM	mbuser		0% (0)	BOS minutes updated to reflect KG being out for the next 10 days or so.
2/4/2013 1:43 AM	mbuser		100% (3)	First 37 games: 0.68 blk. Past 13 games: 1.77 blk. With everything else remaining steady, that represents a substantial upturn in overall impact.
2/3/2013 6:49 PM	vtec1jk		100% (1)	couple minor upgrades. Blocks to a full block a game which is his season average
12/19/2012 8:49 PM	Willet		50% (2)	Where have KG's rebounds gone?
