Injuries and surgeries

Devin Harris missed 10 games at the beginning of November due to a groin strain before returning on November 21 against the New York Knicks.{{cite news|last=Garcia|first=Julian|title=New Jersey Nets' Devin Harris can't do everything in return to lineup|work=New York Daily News|date=2009-11-22|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketball/2009/11/22/2009-11-22_new_jersey_nets_devin_harris_cant_do_it_all_in_return_to_lineup.html|access-date=2009-12-05| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20091123173322/http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketball/2009/11/22/2009-11-22_new_jersey_nets_devin_harris_cant_do_it_all_in_return_to_lineup.html| archive-date= 23 November 2009 | url-status= live}}

In addition, at one point the entire starting lineup, with the exception of center Brook Lopez, was injured. For a considerable portion of the season the Nets were forced to play extremely short-handed, and multiple times were able to dress only the league-minimum seven players.{{citation needed|date=November 2022}}
