Joe Harris will have surgery on his ankle.
Nets general manager Sean Marks confirmed Thursday that Harris will be out for the rest of the year.
The Three-Point Contest champion hasn't played in over a month.
The Nets announced in November that Harris was having surgery on his ankle and expected to be out for four to eight weeks.
His agent told Adrian that a second surgery might be required.
Nash said Monday that Harris was continuing to work toward a recovery but that there was no update on his status.
The Nets only have 19 games left in the regular season, and the likelihood of the 30-year-old being back up looked less likely by the day.
His injury has added to a roller-coaster season with Brooklyn between the part-time status of Irving, James Harden and Kevin Durant. The Harden trade allowed the team to get the long-range shooting it was desperately missing with Harris out of the lineup.
The addition of Goran Dragic has helped as well, with Dragic going 2-of-5 on threes over his first three.
The playoffs are likely to be affected by the absence of Harris. In the last two playoffs, he hit 42.6 percent of his three-pointers. His 40 total makes were the most on the team.
