Nets forward Jared Dudley will not play in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals against the 76ers on Monday due to right calf tightness, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.

Dudley scored four points and recorded four assists in Saturday's 111-102 win, as Brooklyn outscored Philadelphia by 16 points when he was on the floor.

The 33-year-old Dudley averaged 4.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 59 games this season.

Ed Davis, who scored 12 points and recorded 16 rebounds off the bench in Game 1, is expected to have a larger role with Dudley out, according to Charania.
