Atlantic round-up: Leonard out, Edgecombe sidelined, Knecht to New York, Nets' backcourt

Kawhi Leonard will sit out Sunday's game with swelling in his left knee, having played only 23 to 27 minutes in the two wins; on Friday he had 16 points on 7-of-20 shooting. VJ Edgecombe is also out with an abdominal contusion, and Dalton Knecht, 25, signed a two-way deal with the Knicks.

Kawhi Leonard vai desfalcar o jogo de domingo por inchaço no joelho esquerdo, a primeira ausência da temporada dele. Nas duas vitórias do Raptors, ele jogou apenas 23 a 27 minutos por noite.

Na sexta, contra o Wizards, terminou com 16 pontos, nove rebotes e três roubos de bola, acertando 7 de 20 arremessos; na estreia foram 23 pontos, seis rebotes e quatro roubos em menos de 24 minutos. Leonard disse que a retomada depois de uma longa entressafra exige paciência e que não forçaria.

Espera-se que Ja'Kobe Walter entre no quinteto titular contra o Timberwolves. Em dois jogos ele tem média de 8,5 pontos, 3,5 rebotes, 3,0 assistências e 2,5 roubos em 23,5 minutos, mas o arremesso de três ainda não apareceu.

A Filadélfia estará sem VJ Edgecombe contra o Pistons na noite de domingo por causa de uma contusão abdominal. Nick Nurse disse que uma joelhada no meio do corpo no sábado causou a lesão; Edgecombe terminou aquele jogo com dor e acordou dolorido.

Nova York, já cheia de armadores, assinou contrato de duas vias com Dalton Knecht depois de o Lakers liberá-lo. “Pareceu a melhor oportunidade. Conversei com a comissão técnica, conheço eles há um tempo, então foi bom. Achei que seria um bom encaixe, e estou empolgado por estar aqui”, disse. O arremessador de 25 anos provavelmente começará no Westchester, na G League; Mike Brown frisou que ele precisa de minutos, não de um lugar no banco.

O Nets chega ao jogo de domingo contra o Indiana com 0-2, mas a derrota em Cleveland mostrou algo: Egor Demin e Mikel Brown Jr. acertaram três bolas de três em 47 segundos nos primeiros minutos compartilhados na NBA. O tempo juntos durou apenas três minutos e trinta e seis segundos, e Jordi Fernandez admitiu que o equilíbrio entre desenvolver a dupla e ajudar o time é delicado enquanto Brown está limitado. “Mal posso esperar para passar mais tempo com ele em quadra”, disse Demin.
