Caris LeVert will miss Tuesday night’s game against the Utah Jazz due to a sprained right thumb, the team announced. Brian Lewis of the NY Post reported that LeVert had his thumb examined on Thursday after the Nets’ game against the Suns.
LeVert took a pretty hard fall - hence, the sprained thumb.
LeVert, 25, is averaging career-highs in points, 16.8, and minutes, 31.6, per game.
Obviously, there’s a chance he misses more time, as the Nets play three times on the road this week.
