Caris LeVert is finally expected to return to the Nets' lineup Saturday against the Raptors, according to multiple reports.
Brooklyn has been without the shooting guard since he injured his right thumb Nov. 10 -- 24 consecutive games. LeVert underwent surgery to repair ligament damage in the finger.
LeVert averaged 16.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists in the nine games he played before the injury.
"I feel good, my body feels good, so I can't wait to get out there and help the team," LeVert said Thursday night, via the New York Post.
It's the second year in a row that LeVert has dealt with a major early-season injury. He missed 42 games with a dislocated foot last season.
The Nets, who have also been without star point guard Kyrie Irving since mid-November, are 16-17 and have lost four straight.
