Nets' Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot (hip) ruled out Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings.

What It Means:

Luwawu exited Sunday's game early with a right hip contusion and did not return. He was averaging 23.5 minutes in the four games before the injury. Luwawu's absence potentially creates an opening in the rotation for Andre Roberson or Iman Shumpert moving forward. Jeff Green (shoulder) could be headed for a game-time decision on Tuesday.

Per FanDuel Sportsbook, the Nets are 6.0-point favorites on Tuesday.
