It was one of the great absentees of the last Nets playoff campaign, or even of the season. Joe Harris had to leave his partners altogether in mid-November to treat his left ankle. Today, the team’s shooting specialist is doing better. Much better even to hear his agent Mark Bartelstein, interviewed by the New York Post.
” He is doing very well, he is 100%. Yeah, he’s in great shape and ready to go, that’s for sure. “, lists the one who also works with Bradley Beal, Michael Porter, Gordon Hayward or Kyle Lowry.
For the record, the winger had surgery at the end of November and was initially expected to return after four to eight weeks. But, like the Nets’ failed campaign, his recovery didn’t go as planned. He had to undergo a second surgery and thus settle for 14 small appearances with his team. Brooklyn had a record of 10 wins and 4 losses at the time of his injury.
Joe Harris and Seth Curry, sacred duo of shooters
His return to Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving should do the group a lot of good. We recall that in 2021, the 31-year-old had the highest volume of 3-point shots and the best percentage of his team, and even of the league, with an excellent 47.5% success rate. With Seth Curry and him, New Yorkers have two of the best snipers in the league. The two men have not yet had the opportunity to evolve together.
Arriving in 2016, a few weeks after GM Sean Marks took over, Joe Harris is the team’s oldest player.
” I know he is someone they appreciate at the highest level. There’s no doubt about it “Judge Mark Bartelstein, whose player was mentioned in the transfer rumors around Kyrie Irving to the Lakers.
