After missing the final 12 games of the NBA regular season due to a toe injury, Chris Duarte returned to action this summer, averaging 19 points, 2.7 assists, and 2.7 turnovers while shooting 52 percent on twos and 28 percent from three over three games with the Dominican Republic’s National Team (including a friendly played against St. John’s University), as well as one appearance during Summer League in Las Vegas. At first glance, from those numbers alone, it appears as though he struggled to find his range in a larger role on higher shot volume while barely breaking even in terms of playmaking.
