The Brooklyn Nets signed free agent Shabazz Napier this offseason with the hopes he could provide some quality minutes as a backup guard. In just his second game since returning from a hamstring injury, Napier gave Brooklyn more than that Friday night.
Napier played 15 minutes against the New Orleans Pelicans, pouring in 16 points from a variety of angles.
Napier hit 3-of-6 from long range and was 6-for-11 overall and gave the Nets a big offensive shot in the arm with seven points early in the fourth quarter.
