Caris LeVert has final hurdle to clear in Nets comeback

Error 0:

MINNEAPOLIS — Caris LeVert has missed more than seven weeks after thumb surgery. But his wait to get back on the court is almost over.

After hurting himself on Nov. 10, LeVert sat out his 23rd straight game Monday in Minnesota, the site of his horrific foot dislocation almost exactly a year to the day earlier. But LeVert worked out before the game and is on the brink of returning to action.

“Looked really good, is feeling really good,” coach Kenny Atkinson said. “We’re getting close.”

The Nets were scheduled to fly to Dallas right after Monday’s game in Minnesota.
