After serving a 25-game suspension for PED use, Chandler will be eligible to return this weekend, Sunday to be specific, and his coach told reporters Tuesday that he’ll be utilized as soon as available.
“He’ll be thrown to the wolves, so to speak,” Kenny Atkinson said. The Nets play the 76ers Sunday in a 6 p.m., then take on the Pelicans in New Orleans on Tuesday.
Chandler has been working out with the team throughout his suspension and was able to practice and play during preseason, although he saw only 11 minutes of action back in October.
