Prior to the Brooklyn Nets' Sunday afternoon meeting against Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers, several key pieces have already been named on the injured list.

According to Nets Daily's Collin Helwig, the Nets released updates on the availability of three crucial components of their lineup.

After being diagnosed with a thumb sprain, Nic Claxton may be sidelined for the battle against Cleveland's devastating frontcourt duo of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. Claxton enjoyed a phenomenal 5-game stretch prior to the questionable tag, averaging 16.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.0 steals in that span.

Dëmin has been definitively ruled out with left plantar fascia, and fellow first-round pick rookie Drake Powell will remain with the Nets' G-League affiliate Long Island squad after being assigned Friday.
