With the Nets facing a must-have first-round Game 4 on Saturday at Barclays Center — already trailing Philadelphia 2-1 — nothing is off the table.
Coach Kenny Atkinson is mulling switching his lineup. If he doesn’t start the red-hot Caris LeVert — something he’s considering — he’s willing to extend his guard troika’s playing time, giving them 40 minutes if need be, as these are desperate times.
“Sure, I’d consider it. I’m not saying it’s going to happen; there’s a lot of different options we can do,” Atkinson said of starting LeVert, who only started once since March 19.
