The San Antonio Spurs visit the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday. Tipoff is at 8:00 p.m. ET. Listen to the live radio broadcast or watch the live stream via the links provided below.
San Antonio's lineup has been decimated by injuries. Kawhi Leonard (hand), Manu Ginobili (hamstring) and Tony Parker (back) are unavailable for Thursday's contest because of injuries. Veteran Tim Duncan, who had 31 points and 11 rebounds in Wednesday's double-overtime win over Washington, and the Spurs' bench have stepped up to fill the void en route to winning three straight games.
"For these guys, I couldn't be prouder of what they did," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said, via ESPN. "With Kawhi and Manu and Tony not out there, I thought the bench guys really stepped up."
Brooklyn, meanwhile, managed to turn their season around and now hold the No. 7 playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The Nets (21-25) snapped their three-game losing skid on Monday with a 108-102 win over the Philadelphia 76ers.
Like San Antonio, Brooklyn is also dealing with an injury-depleted roster. Brook Lopez is out for the season with a broken foot, and Joe Johnson (knee tendinitis), Andray Blatche (hip) and Andrei Kirilenko (calf) are sidelined with injuries.
Shaun Livingston has made use of the extra playing time and is averaging 17.7 points per game over the last three contests, according to ESPN.
"I've been on the wings obviously guarding some of the better scorers," said Livingston, "but just trying to be active, be disruptive and help my teammates."
