Even after the Nets got the best possible diagnosis on Caris LeVert’s nasty-looking foot injury — that it was just a dislocation and not season-ending — many in the organization admitted they had no idea if the rising young guard could recapture his stellar pre-injury form this year.
With the Nets in the desperate stretch run trying to fight and claw their way into the playoffs, LeVert couldn’t have picked a better time to finally find his rhythm, putting together a third straight strong game in Saturday’s 110-96 win over Boston.
“There was a stretch we were struggling to score, Spencer [Dinwiddie] was out of rhythm, he carried us,” coach Kenny Atkinson said.
