“I don’t think it’s a serious injury, but it’s still tweaked,” Kirilenko said after the game. “I assume it’s going to be a couple days.”
The Nets play tonight against the division-leading Toronto Raptors, and Kirilenko wasn’t sure last night if he’d be good to go.
“We’ll see tomorrow,” Kirilenko added. “Usually, the next day is a crucial day. So we’ll see in the morning how it feels.”
Kirilenko’s injury is the third to Brooklyn’s frontcourt in the last two weeks: Kevin Garnett has missed five games battling back spasms, and Paul Pierce left the same game as Kirilenko just 73 seconds in after re-aggravating a “stinger” in his neck & shoulder area that has bothered him for a few years.
Both Kirilenko and Pierce are officially listed as day-to-day.
