Caris LeVert has not played in a game for the Brooklyn Nets since November 10. The shooting guard has only made nine appearances this year because he needed surgery on his right thumb after he suffered ligament damage.
It appears LeVert’s extended layoff may finally come to an end on Saturday when the Nets welcome the Toronto Raptors to Barclays Center.
On Friday, the Nets listed LeVert as probable for Saturday’s contest.
In his nine 2019-20 games, LeVert averaged 16.8 points per game on 42.1% shooting (36.1% from 3-point territory). He also logged four assists and five rebounds per game.
Additionally, the Nets should have Garrett Temple back in the mix on Saturday. He missed Thursday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks due to a right knee contusion. Temple is also listed as probable for Saturday.
The Nets will still be without Kyrie Irving (right shoulder impingement) and Nic Claxton (left hamstring soreness). Brooklyn has not shared a timetable for the return of either player.
