Nets' Maxwell Lewis: Full stat line off bench Tuesday
Rotowire
Lewis ended Tuesday's 119-114 victory over the Pelicans with 12 points (5-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes.
Lewis supplied a full stat line Tuesday, providing a spark off the bench. Lewis has played at least 27 minutes in all of his past three contests, recording at least 10 points and four boards in each outing. The rebuilding Nets could give the 2023 second-rounder a similar amount of playing time in their final three games of the regular season.

Rotowire
Lewis won't start Sunday's game against the Raptors, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.
With Ziaire Williams unavailable, Lewis drew a spot start Thursday against Minnesota. However, the latter will retreat to the bench Sunday, as the Nets are starting Williams, Reece Beekman, Keon Johnson, Trendon Watford and Drew Timme.

Nets' Maxwell Lewis: Rare appearance in loss
Rotowire
Lewis had three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and three rebounds in 10 minutes during Saturday's 115-94 loss to the Pistons.
Lewis made just his 12th appearance of the season, all of which have seen him log fewer than 10 minutes. The Nets are going nowhere fast, meaning Lewis could step into a slightly more consistent role at some point before the season ends. However, it is unlikely to yield significant production based on what we have seen from him thus far.

Nets' Maxwell Lewis: Diagnosed with fractured tibia
Rotowire
The Nets announced Friday that Lewis has been diagnosed with a fractured left tibia, and his status will be updated in four weeks, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Lewis suffered the severe injury just over a minute into his Nets debut in Wednesday's 130-113 loss to the Raptors, after Brooklyn had recently acquired him from the Lakers. While he appears to have avoided a season-ending injury and doesn't look as though he'll require surgery, the four-week timeline is merely a re-evaluation date, so Lewis should be expected to miss additional time beyond that. The second-year forward will most likely be sidelined through the All-Star break.

Lakers' Maxwell Lewis: Fails to score in nine minutes
Rotowire
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 touched the floor only 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.
