Nets ‘hopeful’ two key banged-up players will return Monday

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Caris LeVert still won’t be on the court when the Nets resume their season Thursday night against the Hornets. But the Nets hope both finally will be back when they play host to Chicago on Monday at Barclays Center.

“Rondae practiced [Tuesday], which is great. Caris did some stuff, not all of practice. [Wednesday] they were off legs to recover from that,” Nets coach Kenny Atkinson said.

“[They’re] not going to play [Thursday], but I think hopeful for Monday, hopeful for the Bulls game. Is that an official term, ‘hopeful?’ ”

The NBA officially uses probable, but the point got across.
