Now that Caris LeVert is back, the Nets only have a quarter of the regular season to get him in sync with D’Angelo Russell if they want to make the postseason.
“D’Angelo got more responsibility with Spencer [Dinwiddie] out, and had the ball in his hands a lot,” coach Kenny Atkinson said. “And with Caris out, his game flourished a little bit. Now, the task for him as we get guys back is to get back to that balance where him and Caris are playing together, he’s playing with Shabazz [Napier]. We’re in the process of trying to figure that out.
