The Nets will be without starting point guard Devin Harris for the next 7-10 days due to a strained right groin. This will hurt the Nets as Harris is the best player on the team. He has started 2 games this season for the Nets and he has averaged 32.0 minutes, 15.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game. Harris will be replaced by veteran Rafer Alston. Alston has played in 4 games (2 starts) for the Nets this season and he is averaging 29.3 minutes, 8.0 points, 1.5 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game. Alston will likely do a decent job while Harris is out but this injury will still hurt the Nets.

UPDATE: Harris will now be out around 4 weeks due to his groin injury which is a little worse than first thought. This will really hurt the Nets as Harris is without a doubt the best player on the team.
