The Brooklyn Nets stole homecourt from the Toronto Raptors taking game one 94-87 but it was without the help of Andrei Kirilenko. He was noticeably absent throughout the game even when their bench players struggled. Everyone wondered why, including Kirilenko’s wife.
Kirilenko was given a DNP-CD. Head coach Jason Kidd didn’t give much of a reason why, only saying “I played 10 guys,” Kidd said when asked about sitting his 6’9″ forward. “I can’t play them all.”
Kirilenko’s Russian pop singer Masha Lopatova, Instagrammed her confusion after the game, sending out a photo of her husband on the bench with the caption “…. And are you Kidding like Jason……“, a reference to the Nelly song “Hot in Herre”.
