Brooklyn Nets point guard Deron Williams, center Brook Lopez, reserve forward Andrei Kirilenko and reserve guard Jason Terry will all miss Friday night's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves due to injury, the team announced.
Williams resprained his left ankle in the second quarter of Wednesday night's in Charlotte when he landed on Bobcats guard Kemba Walker's foot after taking a jumper.
He had just returned to the lineup after missing the previous two games. Williams originally hurt himself in Phoenix on Nov. 15.
Lopez will be missing his fourth straight game with a sprained left ankle. Like Williams, Lopez also injured himself in the Phoenix game.
Kirilenko will be missing his seventh straight game for back spasms. He recently received an epidural injection, according to the New York Daily News, but hopes to be cleared for contact Monday, according to Newsday.
Terry will be missing his first game of the season with a bruised left knee. He did not practice Thursday.
The reeling Nets (3-8), who have lost six of their last seven games, have been starting Shaun Livingston in place of Williams and Reggie Evans in place of Lopez.
