The other six players were Ben Simmons, Nic Claxton, Seth Curry, Joe Harris, Royce O’Neale, and T.J. Warren. The Nets still came out victorious without their top seven scorers, 136-133.

Cam Thomas had a career-high 33 points and Day’Ron Sharpe chipped in 20 points and 12 rebounds.
By resting his rotation last night, Jacque Vaughn ensured that all eight players will only have to play one game over seven days, the Wizards on Monday. For a team that's played the most games this season, that's a smart move.

Jacque Vaughn said the Nets were able to do what they did because the injuries had been previously documented. Vaughn also offered an apology to fans who paid to watch their stars play.
