Brooklyn Nets: Caris LeVert, D’Angelo Russell a tandem to look out for
Brooklyn Nets guards D’Angelo Russell and Caris LeVert combined for 48 points in Sunday’s loss to the Golden State Warriors and bigger things could be ahead.
The Brooklyn Nets paired Caris LeVert and D’Angelo Russell as the guard tandem in the starting lineup just eight games ago, including the preseason. LeVert began the preseason starting at the small forward spot, with Russell and Allen Crabbe manning the two guard spots.
But Crabbe’s ankle injury against the Detroit Pistons on Oct. 8 opened a spot in the lineup and coach Kenny Atkinson filled it by inserting Joe Harris at the 3 and shifting LeVert to the 2.
