An awkward landing, a shriek, and a silence consuming the Target Center. That was the chain of events that took place on Monday night in Minneapolis. Caris LeVert suffered a gruesome injury that brought back memories of Gordon Hayward, Paul George, and Shaun Livingston. The Brooklyn Nets were beginning to pick up steam and LeVert was the “heart and soul” of the team as head coach Kenny Atkinson told reporters.
But on Tuesday, Brooklyn received the best possible news. LeVert’s injury was not nearly as bad as it appeared and he could return sometime this season.
