Milestones

Injuries and surgeries

Devin Harris missed 10 games at the beginning of November due to a groin strain before returning on November 21 against the New York Knicks.

In addition, at one point the entire starting lineup, with the exception of center Brook Lopez, was injured. For a considerable portion of the season the Nets were forced to play extremely short-handed, and multiple times were able to dress only the league-minimum seven players.
