Nets coach Kenny Atkinson said Nets guard Caris LeVert will be back in the rotation Friday.

LeVert will return for the first time since he suffered a gruesome injury in November against the Timberwolves. The 24-year-old LeVert was diagnosed with a subtalar dislocation of his right foot after his leg buckled upon hitting the court on a block attempt. He grabbed his knee upon falling and left the court on a stretcher.

The Nets play the Bulls in Brooklyn on Friday at 7:30 p.m. ET.
