DAngelo Russell, Cam Johnson, Cam Thomas among Nets out Sunday against Jazz

SALT LAKE CITY — The Nets seemingly have erred on the side of caution when it comes to injured Cam Johnson and D’Angelo Russell.Predictably, both will remain sidelined Sunday when the Nets play the Jazz, as will Cam Thomas.Johnson will miss a fifth consecutive game with a right ankle sprain suffered in the waning seconds of their Jan.

2 victory in Milwaukee.The Nets haven’t won since he went down, dropping four straight by a combined 77 points.Russell will sit out his fourth in a row with a right shin contusion.The Nets had shown at least moderate confidence that Johnson would play on this six-game Western Conference road swing.

But leading scorer Thomas and Trendon Watford have both been ruled out with left hamstring strains until they return to Brooklyn.“Cam Johnson and D-Lo are day-to-day.So they look good.

They’re working and that’s where we’re at right now,” coach Jordi Fernandez said.“Trendon is working and most likely won’t play in this trip.”Dariq Whitehead is questionable for Sunday.

The second-year wing is in concussion protocol after taking a shot to the head in a recent G-League game for Long Island.Bojan Bogdanovic (left foot injury recovery), Maxwell Lewis (left tibia fracture), De’Anthony Melton (left knee ACL tear) are all out, along with Thomas and Watford.Sign up for Inside the Nets by Brian Lewis, exclusively on Sports+.
