Brooklyn Nets star James Harden and key role player Bruce Brown have entered the NBA's health and safety protocols, the team announced.

The pair joins LaMarcus Aldridge, DeAndre' Bembry, Jevon Carter, James Johnson, and Paul Millsap, all of whom are also in the league's COVID-19 protocols.

Joe Harris is currently sidelined after undergoing ankle surgery.

The Nets will have eight active players for Tuesday's game versus the Toronto Raptors - including Kevin Durant, who was initially listed as questionable due to right ankle soreness.

Durant will start alongside Patty Mills, rookie David Duke Jr., Blake Griffin, and Nic Claxton. That five-man unit has not logged a minute together to date.
