Kemba out for Game 5 due to knee injury

Kemba Walker and Robert Williams both sat out Tuesday's Game 5 matchup against the Brooklyn Nets due to injury.

Walker is dealing with a bone bruise in his left knee, while Williams has a left ankle sprain.

Both players were listed as doubtful for the must-win contest after missing the previous tilt.

Guard Romeo Langford started in Walker's place for the second straight game.

Walker struggled to get going against the Nets, averaging 12.7 points on 31.7% shooting - including a 17.6% clip from deep - over three postseason appearances.

Meanwhile, Williams provided some much-needed energy and rim protection off the bench. The center recorded a franchise playoff-record nine blocks in Game 1.
