The Brooklyn Nets are showing us exactly who they are — and who they’ve been under Kenny Atkinson.
First, it was Caris LeVert who went down with a thumb injury. Surgery followed. Then, Kyrie Irving went down with a shoulder injury. No timetable has been revealed for his return. And so, Kenny and the Nets have been forced to step up in adversity — the same way they did it last year.
Brooklyn improved to 12-10 on the season following a 111-104 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night.
