Emerging Nets star Caris LeVert, who has been out since suffering a dislocated right ankle on Nov. 12, is set to return to practice on Tuesday and might return to play before the All-Star break.
The news was first reported by ESPN and was confirmed to Newsday by an NBA source who indicated LeVert has been cleared for full-contact practice as soon as Tuesday. The Nets began a three-game homestand against the Bucks on Monday night at Barclays Center, and it continues with games against the Nuggets on Wednesday and the Bulls on Friday. They play road games Feb. 11 at Toronto and Feb. 13 at Cleveland before the break.
It's highly doubtful LeVert would return to action against the Nuggets after just one practice. But that would leave three more games before the break, and his return could happen at any time in that span.
