Why Nets are encouraged by Greivis Vasquez’s injury

LAS VEGAS — After having last season cut short by injury, Greivis Vasquez has a lot to prove.

The Nets say that’s a good thing.

Brooklyn signed the veteran combo guard to a one-year deal on Sunday, which The Post reported was for a team-friendly $5 million. And Nets coach Kenny Atkinson said they’ll be getting a savvy, cerebral veteran motivated to show he can still play.

“He’s hungry. I think he’s hungry to prove himself again,’’ Atkinson said after the Nets moved to 2-0 in the Las Vegas Summer League with a 72-65 win over Atlanta.
