Caris LeVert played in his first game since November 12th last night against the Chicago Bulls. The Nets lost 125-106, but LeVert looked like he didn’t miss a step. LeVert only played 15 minutes, but he finished with 11 points, 4 assists, and 2 rebounds on 5-11 shooting. LeVert was also a huge factor on the defensive end, finishing with 5 steals. LeVert only played in the 2nd and 4th quarters, and was very effective when he was on the court. LeVert led the Nets to tie the game up in the second quarter, and then he kept the Nets in the game late in the 4th before he was taken out. Coach Kenny Atkinson was conservative with LeVert last night, as he should have been. LeVert was averaging 18 points per game and was on his way to the Most Improved Player award before he injured his leg in a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. LeVert showed why he was averaging 18 ppg, as he was very effective driving to the basket last night. His three point shot still needs some work as he finished 0-3 from deep, but his shot should come back with more playing time. LeVert is a huge addition to this team, and he will greatly help out the Nets continue their playoff play. LeVert should be able to get back to his early season form after the all star break.
