Harden ruled out but not Green
The Brooklyn Nets again won’t have James Harden but could have forward Jeff Green back for Game 4 of their second-round playoff series with the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday.
Nets coach Steve Nash said Saturday that Harden is out and Green is questionable for Sunday’s game.
Harden hasn’t played since leaving Game 1 of the series in the opening minute with tightness in his right hamstring. Green hasn’t played at all in the series because of a plantar fascia strain.
Green last played in Game 2 of the Nets’ firstround series against the Boston Celtics.
76ers’ Danny Green out for two weeks
Philadelphia 76ers guard Danny Green will be reevaluated in about two weeks after an MRI exam confirmed a right calf strain, the team announced.
Green suffered the injury less than four minutes into Game 3 on Friday and did not return.
League disciplines security guard
The NBA disciplined the Brooklyn Nets security guard who went on the Fiserv Forum court and appeared to shove P.J. Tucker during a confrontation between the Milwaukee forward and Nets star Kevin Durant on Thursday.
NBA officials said the security guard wouldn’t be assigned to any of the remaining games in Milwaukee during the second-round series. He won’t be assigned to the court area for the secondround games in Brooklyn.
NBA officials didn’t provide the name of the security guard, but a person with knowledge of the situation identified him as Antjuan Lambert. Another Associated Press source said the guard was Durant’s personal security employee before being hired by the Nets.
Tucker appeared to be complaining after getting called for fouling Durant and the two started jawing at each other when the security guard went on the court and put his hands on Tucker.
