Shane Larkin or Donald Sloan to start Nets' opener against Bulls

Jarrett Jack has been nursing a hamstring injury, and that means the Nets' point guards are in worse shape than the team had initially planned. And that means they're doing really poorly.

Brooklyn, who might have the worst point-guard rotation in the NBA to begin with, will reportedly be missing Jack for the team's season-opening game against the Bulls on Wednesday. 

Here's more from Tim Bontemps of the New York Post:

Jack's absence means that one of two backups will be entering the first unit at least for the evening: Donald Sloan or Shane Larkin. 

Larkin came onto the team with a guaranteed deal this summer and worked as the backup during the preseason. Sloan, meanwhile, made the roster officially on the last day possible after signing a partially guaranteed deal for training camp.
