Nets‘ center DeAndre Jordan suffered a dislocated middle finger earlier this week but the injury will not require surgery, tweets ESPN’s Malika Andrews. Instead, the veteran big man will be re-evaluated next week.
Without Jordan in its lineup, Brooklyn will need to rely heavily on the young tandem of Jarrett Allen and Nicolas Claxton. The Nets will face the Bucks, Sixers and Lakers in their next three contests, so the absence of Jordan will sting.
In the first year of a four-year, $40MM deal he signed with Brooklyn, the veteran has been a stabilizing influence. Primarily a backup for the Nets, Jordan has served as a mentor while averaging 8.0 PPG and 9.7 RPG in 21 minutes per contest.
He has to have one of the worst contracts in the nba
It’s not when you factor in the money would have gone to Kyrie and KD anyway. Instead they took less to have DJ make that money.

If this were the NFL he would have missed 2 plays not WEEKS
He’d be a perfect fit on the Celtics. Too bad the Nets aren’t sellers and the C’s don’t have any contracts to trade to match. He could really be the missing piece for them at this point.
Right. No matches, nobody to move, except for Hayward, who I have been notified, causes appreciative riots in Boston every time he takes the court.
He’s washed up. His friends got him that contract.
