With no expectations beyond their own and a starting lineup with an average age of 23, the Nets take to the floor for the first time Wednesday in blustery Minneapolis. Newly named captain Devin Harris is healthy and ready. Only Keyon Dooling and Tony Battie are out. Al Jefferson (achilles) and Jonny Flynn (flu) will play for the Wolves. Kevin Love (hand) is out. Let the games begin!
