Rondae Hollis-Jefferson: Hopes to play Friday

The Nets held Hollis-Jefferson out for the second half of their back-to-back set
Tuesday against the Nuggets after the forward bruised his right hip a night
earlier in Phoenix. Hollis-Jefferson relayed that his absence was precautionary
more than anything, and with the next two days off to rest, he’s optimistic he
won’t miss further time. Spencer Dinwiddie entered the starting lineup in
Hollis-Jefferson’s stead Tuesday, but would likely return to the bench Friday if
the Arizona product is deemed ready to go for that contest.
