EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Jason Kidd has a bone bruise on his left knee, and the Nets’ All-Star point guard is listed as day to day.
Kidd had an MRI on Monday that revealed no structural damage to the knee, team spokesman Aaron Harris said.
New Jersey is traveling to Denver to start a four-game road trip.
The injury was disclosed Sunday night after Kidd spent the final 14-plus minutes on the bench in a 100-83 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.
“It just got stiff on me and I couldn’t move, and coach removed me from the game,” Kidd said.
Kidd did not know when he hurt the knee. He said it was “banged up” for a while and has not improved.
“If I can’t move, it’s serious,” Kidd said. “That’s part of my game, just being able to run, to start the transition. In the last couple of games we haven’t been able to run, maybe due to me not being mobile.”
Kidd hurt the same knee early this season, but he said this bruise is bigger.
“It (the pain) goes everywhere through my leg, so that’s why they are concerned about it,” he said.
