Caris LeVert made his long-awaited Nets return Saturday against the Raptors after missing the past 24 games.
The young wing had been out since a Nov. 10 after surgery to repair ligament damage in his thumb. But even in limited minutes, he looked sharp and gave the shorthanded lineup a lift.
“I felt pretty good out there. Obviously we wanted to get a win, but just me personally, I felt pretty good,” said LeVert, who had a 15-minute limit, but made the most of his playing time, with 13 points on 5-of-7 shooting in the Nets’ 121-102 loss.
