Hollis-Jefferson (ankle) is taking part in partial practices and will be reevaluated in two weeks, Mike Mazzeo of ESPN New York reports.
The report indicates that Hollis-Jefferson's fractured right ankle has fully healed, but the rookie will require some time to regain full strength and increase his activity in practices. When he was healthy, the defensive-minded Hollis-Jefferson was one of the few bright spots in a dismal season for the Nets, so he should be in line for an enhanced role in the team's rotation once he's cleared to play again. Look for him to displace Wayne Ellington in the starting five at some point in March.
