Maxwell Lewis’ Nets debut on Jan. 1 didn’t last long or go well, as he was carried off the floor after just one minute with a fractured left tibia.
It took six weeks and a grueling rehab to earn Wednesday’s encore.
Lewis was finally active again in the Nets’ finale before the All-Star break, logging a 27-second cameo near the end of a 100-96 win over Philadelphia at Barclays Center.

“I’m just blessed and glad it’s over,” Lewis said. “Now, I get to at least start what I was starting when it first happened on Jan. 1, just getting back to playing and my routine. It’s great. I’m blessed to be back.”
The Lakers had thought enough of Lewis — a 6-fooot-7 forward — in 2023 to pay the Pacers $4 million to move up seven spots and get him in the second round of the draft. He made 34 appearances as a rookie and was largely consigned to the G League this season, but Nets general manager Sean Marks wanted the young wing in the Dorian Finney-Smith deal, taking a flier.
