It took almost two months from the time he made his return to the floor for the Brooklyn Nets, but Caris LeVert is all the way back from a horrific looking foot injury that wiped out more than half of his 2018-19 season.
The injury occurred just before halftime of the Nets’ Nov. 12 contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves in Minneapolis. LeVert challenged a transition layup attempt by rookie Josh Okogie, landed awkwardly and immediately knew something was wrong.
His teammates blanched and looked away at the sight of their teammate sitting on the baseline holding his misshapen lower right leg up.
