Injuries and surgeries

Devin Harris missed 10 games at the beginning of November due to a groin strain before returning on November 21 against the New York Knicks.[6]

In addition, at one point the entire starting lineup, with the exception of center Brook Lopez, was injured. For a considerable portion of the season the Nets were forced to play extremely short-handed, and multiple times were able to dress only the league-minimum seven players. This was a major contributor to the poor start the Nets had for the season, in addition to well-respected Head Coach Lawrence Frank being fired and replaced by Nets GM/rookie head coach Kiki Vandeweghe.
