Nets' Ben Saraf: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Saraf (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Milwaukee.
Saraf has been battling an illness lately, and he'll be unavailable for Brooklyn on Sunday night. The rookie guard has bounced in and out of the rotation for the Nets this season, and his absence could open up a few more minutes for Nolan Traore. Saraf's next chance to play in an NBA game will come Thursday against Miami, but he recently played two games in the G League, totaling 15 points (4-17 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, nine assists and a steal in 43 minutes. Saraf was recalled from the Long Island Nets on Sunday morning despite the illness.

Nets' Ben Saraf: Totals season-high 12 points
Rotowire
Saraf provided 12 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals across 24 minutes during Thursday's 123-110 loss to Utah.
Saraf has carved out a role off Brooklyn's bench over the past four games after missing roughly two weeks due to a left ankle sprain. The results have been up and down for the rookie guard, as he set a season high in points Thursday against the Jazz but also committed a team-high five turnovers. He's averaging 8.8 points, 3.3 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.3 rebounds in 21.5 minutes per game during that four-game span.
Saraf recorded 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), seven assists and one block across 29 minutes in Saturday's 116-99 loss to the Bucks.
Saraf missed about two weeks of action due to a left ankle sprain before being cleared to return ahead of Friday's 115-103 loss to the 76ers. He didn't crack the rotation for that contest, but with Egor Demin (foot) sitting out Saturday's game, Saraf was able to pick up some major minutes in his first appearance for the Nets since Nov. 11. Though he came through with an efficient showing from the field while logging a team-high assist total, Saraf could nonetheless find himself back outside of the rotation if Demin returns for Brooklyn's next game Monday versus the Hornets.

Nets' Ben Saraf: Upgraded to questionable
Rotowire
Saraf (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable ahead of Friday's game against the 76ers, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Saraf hasn't played for the Nets since Nov. 11, when he scored two points across two minutes off the bench in a 119-109 loss. The questionable tag suggests a decision on Saraf's status will be made closer to Friday's 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff, but even if he's upgraded, he's not expected to play a big role for Brooklyn.

Nets' Ben Saraf: Returns from G League
Rotowire
The Nets recalled Saraf from the G League's Long Island Nets on Monday, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
With Long Island not scheduled to play again until Friday, Saraf will rejoin the parent club and should be available for Brooklyn's next game Tuesday versus the Raptors, though he's not guaranteed to be included in the rotation. The rookie first-round pick from Israel had struggled over his six appearances at the NBA level prior to being assigned to Long Island last week, averaging 3.5 points, 2.7 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 15.7 minutes per game while shooting 23.1 percent from the field. While Saraf was away from the team and playing with Long Island for the first two games of the G League season, the Nets turned to Terance Mann and Tyrese Martin to serve as their primary facilitators behind starting point guard Egor Demin.
