The Nets announced Friday that Lewis has suffered a fractured left tibia and his status will be updated in four weeks, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports. Lewis suffered his injury against Toronto on Wednesday and is now set for an extended absence. Lewis was recently traded from the Lakers in the package that also saw D'Angelo Russell head to Brooklyn.
Lewis (knee) is out for Thursday's game versus the Bucks. Lewis will miss Thursday's contest after suffering a left knee injury against Toronto on Wednesday. While the severity of Lewis' injury is unclear, the 21-year-old forward could miss an extended period.
Lewis went back to the locker room with an apparent left leg injury during the fourth quarter of Wednesday's 130-113 loss to Toronto and did not return, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports. Lewis made his Nets debut Wednesday but suffered the injury shortly after checking in. The former Laker made a three-pointer prior to suffering the injury. Per Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com, Lewis had to be carried off the court and was unable to put weight on his left leg.
Lewis (recently traded) isn't listed on the Nets' injury report for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Meghan Triplett of YES Network reports. Lewis is cleared to suit up and make his Nets' debut, but he's unlikely to see any playing time with his new squad, at least at first. Lewis made only seven appearances at the NBA level for the Lakers before being traded, averaging 4.1 minutes per game.
The Nets acquired Lewis, guard D'Angelo Russell and second-round draft picks in 2027, 2030 and 2031 from the Lakers on Sunday in exchange for forward Dorian Finney-Smith and guard Shake Milton, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Lewis will join a rebuilding Nets squad after receiving little playing time over his first one-plus seasons in Los Angeles, logging just 3.2 minutes per game over 41 appearances. Though the move to a rebuilding Nets squad should present with a clearer path to playing time, Lewis still may find himself outside of head coach Jordi Fernandez's rotation initially. His first chance to suit up with his new squad will come Wednesday against Toronto.
Lewis was recalled from the Lakers' G League affiliate Sunday. Lewis will rejoin the parent club ahead of its matchup versus the Pistons on Monday. The 22-year-old has received very little playing time at the NBA level, though he has averaged 18.4 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.1 blocks across 33.7 minutes per contest over eight G League outings.
Los Angeles recalled Lewis from the G League's South Bay Lakers on Sunday. Lewis will likely be back in South Bay shortly. He's made just seven appearances at the NBA level with an average of 4.1 minutes per contest.
Lewis was recalled from the G League's South Bay Lakers on Saturday. Lewis was assigned to the G League on Saturday morning and played 41 minutes during South Bay's 119-111 win over the San Diego Clippers. He posted a game-high 26 points (10-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and a steal before being recalled to the NBA club after the game. Lewis has played in six NBA contests this season but hasn't seen more than 10 minutes in any of them, averaging 4.5 per contest.
Lewis finished Wednesday's 134-93 loss to the Heat with zero points (0-2 FG) in nine minutes. Lewis logged a career-high nine minutes, sliding into the rotation for just the sixth time this season. Having only touched the floor during garbage time, Lewis continues to be a non-factor despite the Lakers' recent struggles. Based on what we have seen to this point in his career, there is no reason to think Lewis will assume a larger role any time soon.
