Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez provided injury updates before the game against the Phoenix Suns. Ziaire Williams is day-to-day with a left ankle sprain and is ruled out of Wednesday’s game, while Trendon Watford remains sidelined due to a left hamstring strain. Cam Thomas is recovering well from his own hamstring injury. The Nets are shorthanded, missing multiple players, including Cam Johnson and Ben Simmons, resulting in just nine available players for the matchup.

In a notable return, former Net Kevin Durant visited Barclays Center, where he praised the organization's direction amid their rebuilding phase, emphasizing the importance of young players gaining experience and the future assets the franchise is accumulating.
