The Brooklyn Nets have confirmed that Deron Williams, Brook Lopez and Andrei Kirilenko will all miss the game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday night.
Williams and Lopez have both been suffering with sprained ankles recently and they were absent for the loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday.
Neither has been able to prove his fitness ahead of the clash with the Blazers at the Barclays Center.
Kirilenko has been used off the bench this season but he will not be available to coach Jason Kidd due to back spasms.
Kevin Garnett is expected to return after recovering from an ankle injury of his own, while the Nets will make a decision over Paul Pierce's groin problem closer to tip-off.
