Nets relieved on Caris LeVert injury: ‘He had God on his side’

The Nets’ reactions when they first saw Caris LeVert’s gruesome leg injury were X-rated. But when they got a final diagnosis — no surgery needed, a return this season expected — it was a collective exhale.

“Not sure you can print [my reaction] or put it into words,” general manager Sean Marks said before the Nets faced Miami on Wednesday night.

“It was emotional for sure, for all of us. Whenever you see a young man [like] Caris go down like that, it’s heart-wrenching, for Caris and all the work he’s put in. … The emotions were definitely a roller coaster for everybody.
