“Progressing,” coach Steve Nash said after practice. “He went through practice. He’s working out right now.” Harden was a late scratch from the loss Saturday to the Golden State Warriors after waking up with discomfort in his hand. He had an MRI in San Francisco on Saturday that showed irritation, according to Nash. Nets center […]

A Chicago native and Illinois product, Dosunmu has been thrust into a larger role in the rotation due to significant injuries to Alex Caruso and Lonzo Ball.
