Caris LeVert (thumb) reportedly returning for Nets on Saturday
Brooklyn Nets shooting guard Caris LeVert (thumb surgery) is set to return to action on Saturday against the Toronto Raptors, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
What It Means:
LeVert hasn't played since injuring his thumb on November 10, a span of 23 games. He was averaging 16.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 0.7 steals, and 1.4 3-pointers per game before the injury. Garrett Temple, who missed his first game of the season Thursday with a knee injury, will likely shift back to the second unit. Spencer Dinwiddie also may see a downtick in usage.
LeVert is averaging 27.7 FanDuel points per game this season. His 26.9 usage rate is third-highest on the team.
