Yuta Watanabe will miss rest of Nets road trip
The Nets will be without rapidly developing glue guy Yuta Watanabe at least through the rest of their current road trip. The fan favorite has a strained right hamstring and won’t play at least until Sunday against the Trail Blazers at Barclays Center. “He got an MRI [exam] in Philly and Yuta has a hamstring strain,” Jacque Vaughn said before the Nets beat the Raptors 112-98 on Wednesday night, adding that he would miss that game and the game Friday at Indiana. “So we’ll reassess him when we get back home.
