The Nets and Timberwolves played a basketball game on Monday night, but none of it mattered after an absolutely heartbreaking —and devastating injury to Caris LeVert.
With 3.7 seconds left in the first half, LeVert contested a fast break and came down on his leg awkwardly. It looked as if his bone bent the wrong way. The arena went dead silent, Nets’ players were in tears and Timberwolves players were in a circle praying for the 24-year-old rising star who was carried off the court in a stretcher with a towel covering his face.
