Kenneth Faried continues to spend his time on the Nets bench, with 27 DNP-CD’s. The 6’8” forward hasn’t played since December 1, one of nine garbage time appearances, none longer than nine minutes.
Yet, says Kenny Atkinson, the Nets and Faried have not engaged in buyout talks and the Newark native hasn’t “checked out,” calling his attitude “fantastic.”
“No [he hasn’t asked] … I know [about the reports]. I just like him on this team. He’s been really good. I just hope we can get him an opportunity,” Atkinson told Brian Lewis.
