It’s been a quiet NBA Trade Deadline for the Brooklyn Nets, though they are getting a player...back...on Friday night against the Bulls.
Caris LeVert.
LeVert will be available for the #Nets tomorrow.

Well, there’s your player acquisition, Nets fans.
With Brooklyn still dealing with injuries from a few key players - most notably Spencer Dinwiddie - this will be a huge help for the team who is looking for some more depth at the wing position.
LeVert has been out since mid-November after severely dislocating his foot. According to Brian Lewis, LeVert told Kenny Atkinson he was “ready” to return.
Lewis also noted that there will be a minutes restriction, but, any help at this point is more than welcome.
LeVert came to Kenny Atkinson and told him he was ready. He’ll be in a minutes limit vs the #Bulls, but having him back will be a huge lift for the #Nets; like making a big trade at the deadline.

This may not have been the “flashy” move that Nets fans were looking for on this trade deadline, but it’s certainly some welcome news.
