Brooklyn Nets at Boston Celtics: TV info, live stream, injury report

The Brooklyn Nets finish up a 3-game, 4-day road set with a Monday visit to TD Garden for their 1st meeting of the season with the Boston Celtics.

The Brooklyn Nets bring a three-game winning streak and a lengthy injury list into TD Garden Monday night for their first meeting of the season against the Boston Celtics.

The Nets (20-21) added two more players to the injury list on Monday afternoon, as starting shooting guard Joe Harris and reserve forward DeMarre Carroll won’t play against the Celtics.

Harris left Sunday’s 117-100 win over the Chicago Bulls after turning an ankle in the fourth quarter and though he indicated to the bench he was fine as he came out, he’s officially out with a right ankle sprain.

More from Nothin' But Nets

Carroll played 31 minutes on Sunday, but is listed as out with a sore left knee. So there may be some unusual player combinations as the Nets will have only 10 players available, with Theo Pinson being brought back from the Long Island Nets of the G League on his two-way contract.
