Nets hit new low as D’Angelo Russell exits with injury in blowout loss to 76ers

A sellout Barclays Center crowd saw the Nets hit what felt like a new low Saturday night.

Just when the team thought it was merely shorthanded, another blow came.

With long-standing injuries to Cam Thomas (left hamstring) and Cam Johnson (right ankle) and a late scratch of Ben Simmons with left calf soreness, the Nets scraped together their 18th starting lineup, led by veteran point guard D’Angelo Russell.

Joel Embiid, who scored a game-high 28 points, looks to keep the ball away from Nic Claxton during the Nets' 123-94 blowout loss the 76ers on Jan. 4, 2025.

That was until the one-time All-Star exited at halftime and did not return due to a right shin contusion.

It led to a complete reshuffle and the playing of reserves who simply weren’t able to hang on against the 76ers in a 123-94 blowout.
