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.

Lewis, the 40th overall pick of the 2023 NBA Draft, is currently playing for the Lakers' Las Vegas Summer League entry and will look to carry over a strong showing in the desert into training camp.
