Dorian Finney-Smith has missed eight games this season, including six of the Brooklyn Nets’ last seven with a sprained left ankle.
But finally, Finney-Smith is nowhere to be found on the initial injury report for Sunday’s home game against the Milwaukee Bucks, and his team is rejoicing.
“Whether he’s on the court, on the bench, his presence is very important and his teammates feel the same way,” said Head Coach Jordi Fernández on Saturday. “Whenever he is back, active and playing, we’ll be very happy to have him.”
And why wouldn’t they be? The Nets have destroyed teams whenever DFS is between the lines.
