The Brooklyn Nets have shocked the NBA once again after showing all the players they will have out tonight when they face the Indiana Pacers. The Nets are one of the most entertaining teams in the NBA, and they have players that draw attention wherever they go, but this time, they will be without many of them.
In a hard-fought duel against the surprising Indiana Pacers, who have a similar record to the Nets, the team has decided to keep eight of their players out of the game. This hasn’t been common for a couple of years now, but Brooklyn is making some interesting moves that are raising many eyebrows around the league.
Shams Charania of The Athletic reports that Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Nic Claxton, Seth Curry, Ben Simmons, TJ Warren, Royce O’Neale, and Joe Harris are out of action tonight when the Nets face the Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Brooklyn Nets Will Have Multiple Players Out Tonight, Fans React
Just like they do when the Los Angeles Clippers announce Kawhi Leonard isn’t playing, many fans went off on the Nets, criticizing them for sending so many players to the bench in a game where a lot of people would want to see them.
Nets players out tonight vs. Pacers: Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Nic Claxton, Seth Curry, Ben Simmons, TJ Warren, Royce O'Neale, Joe Harris.

The @NBA has to do something about mass rest days like these. At least give Indiana ticket buyers a couple of players to watch. Golden State does the same thing. It sucks for the league.

Why fans should boycott going to NBA games. This would stop QUICK. Watch every regular season game at home and watch what happens.

The Nets are probably the most criticized team in the NBA, even surpassing the Los Angeles Lakers, and a couple of days after the whole Kyrie Irving situation was settled, once again, they are under fire for their decisions.
Many wondered who will play for all these players. Others said that many fans bought tickets to see certain players, and now they won’t play. This situation isn’t looking good for them. Still, the Nets are in a great position right now, ranking 4th in the East with a 15-12 record, turning things around after a tumultuous start to the season.
