Brooklyn Nets coach Steve Nash said Monday that Kyrie Irving won’t play in Game 5 of the Nets’ second-round playoff matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks tonight due to the sprained ankle he suffered in Game 4.

James Harden, who’s been out since playing in Game 1, still isn’t ready to come back after having hamstring tenderness. That leaves Kevin  Durant as the only of the Nets’ three stars who'll be in the game tonight. The series is tied at 2-2.
