Previous: . Brooklyn Nets. 27. team. 147. The Brooklyn Nets looked like the greatest offense the NBA has seen during their shocking double overtime victory against the Los Angeles Clippers. Sean Kilpatrick did his best Kobe Bryant impression to will Brooklyn to victory in the end. However, after that they came back down to Earth again and lost both games of a home-and-home with the Milwaukee Bucks. Jeremy Lin has now missed over a month of basketball and his return is still to be determined. There is good news for the Nets though. 2016 first round draft pick, Caris LeVert, returned to action last night in the team’s game against the Washington Wizards. By returned to action I of course mean he traded in his tailored suit for an NBA warmup and got to take part in warmups. In probably the first questionable move by Kenny Atkinson in his first season as the Nets head coach, LeVert received a “DNP-Coach’s Decision” yesterday. Maybe, Atkinson was told by the training staff that LeVert isn’t ready to handle the stress and physicality of an NBA game just yet. Many of us thought him getting clearance meant he could jump right into a game, but it seems that we were mistaken. Hopefully LeVert gets his chance on the floor in the near future.. 5-14
