MAXWELL LEWIS NEWS

Full stat line off bench Tuesday Lewis ended Tuesday's 119-114 victory over the Pelicans with 12 points (5-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes.

Impact Lewis supplied a full stat line Tuesday, providing a spark off the bench. Lewis has played at least 27 minutes in all of his past three contests, recording at least 10 points and four boards in each outing. The rebuilding Nets could give the 2023 second-rounder a similar amount of playing time in their final three games of the regular season.

Provides spark in return to bench Lewis supplied 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 27 minutes during Sunday's 120-109 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Lewis returned to the bench Sunday with Ziaire Williams' return to the starting lineup, providing a lift on the second unit while recording a team-high-tying pair of blocks and finishing second among Nets players in scoring. Lewis reached double figures in scoring for the fourth time this season, recording his second-highest point total in Sunday's defeat. He also set a new season high in blocks, his fifth outing of the year while recording at least one rejection.

Not in starting lineup Lewis won't start Sunday's game against the Raptors, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.

Impact Lewis drew a spot start Thursday against Minnesota, but he'll retreat to the bench Sunday, as the Nets are starting Reece Beekman, Keon Johnson, Ziaire Williams, Trendon Watford and Drew Timme. Across his last 10 games as a reserve, Lewis has averaged 6.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 17.6 minutes per game.

Will start vs. Minnesota Lewis will be in the starting lineup for the Nets on Thursday against the Timberwolves, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.

Impact Lewis will get the first start for Brooklyn this season, as he'll share the floor with D'Angelo Russell, Keon Johnson, Trendon Watford and Nic Claxton in the first unit. In 23 games he's played for the Nets this season, the Pepperdine product is averaging 3.4 points and 1.6 rebounds per game, shooting 42 percent from the floor and 46.9 percent from deep.

Plays well in 18 minutes Lewis contributed eight points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 18 minutes during Monday's 113-109 victory over the Mavericks.

Impact Lewis provided a spark off the Brooklyn bench, giving the coaching staff something to thing about. With less than two weeks remaining in the regular season and with the Nets in player evaluation mode, Lewis is likely to get an extended look in the rotation at some point. Fantasy managers in deeper formats can keep an eye out for him.

Productive off bench Lewis chipped in eight points (3-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Thursday's 105-99 overtime loss to the Pacers.

Impact Lewis has now eclipsed 16 minutes in four straight appearances as the Nets continue to give him more opportunities. In that span, Lewis has flirted with top-150 value in nine-category formats in 19.9 minutes per game, posting averages of 9.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.8 three-pointers.

Heats up with 15 points off bench Lewis posted 15 points (6-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one block across 16 minutes during Saturday's 115-113 loss to the Celtics.

Impact In the Nets' first game since the team announced that Cam Thomas (hamstring) would miss the rest of the season, Lewis set season highs in both scoring and minutes off the bench in his first appearance since the Mar. 4 loss to the Spurs. It'll be interesting to see if Saturday's performance earns Lewis more playing time going forward, and fantasy managers should monitor his role down the stretch.

MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE

Rare appearance in loss Lewis had three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and three rebounds in 10 minutes during Saturday's 115-94 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Lewis made just his 12th appearance of the season, all of which have seen him log fewer than 10 minutes. The Nets are going nowhere fast, meaning Lewis could step into a slightly more consistent role at some point before the season ends. However, it is unlikely to yield significant production based on what we have seen from him thus far.

Makes garbage-time cameo Lewis (tibia) played the final 27 seconds of Wednesday's 102-96 win over the 76ers, recording no statistics during his time on the court.

Impact Lewis made his return to action after he fractured his left tibia in his Nets debut in a Jan. 1 loss to the Raptors. Though he's healthy again, the second-year forward is expected to find himself outside of the Brooklyn rotation more often than not.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Lewis (leg) will be available for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Lewis has been sidelined since the beginning of January while recovering from a fractured left tibia. He's no longer appearing on the injury report, but he's not guaranteed any minutes Wednesday -- he averaged 3.8 minutes in eight appearances prior to the injury.

FEBRUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Diagnosed with fractured tibia The Nets announced Friday that Lewis has suffered a fractured left tibia and his status will be updated in four weeks, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Lewis suffered his injury against Toronto on Wednesday and is now set for an extended absence. Lewis was recently traded from the Lakers in the package that also saw D'Angelo Russell head to Brooklyn.

Cleared to suit up Wednesday Lewis (recently traded) isn't listed on the Nets' injury report for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Meghan Triplett of YES Network reports.

Impact Lewis is cleared to suit up and make his Nets' debut, but he's unlikely to see any playing time with his new squad, at least at first. Lewis made only seven appearances at the NBA level for the Lakers before being traded, averaging 4.1 minutes per game.

DECEMBER 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Traded to Brooklyn on Sunday The Lakers traded Lewis, D'Angelo Russell and three second-round picks in exchange for Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton on Sunday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Lewis will join a rebuilding Nets squad after receiving very little playing time for the Lakers in the beginning of the 2024-25 campaign, during which he has averaged 0.6 points across 4.1 minutes per contest in seven regular-season appearances. The second-year pro out of Pepperdine should provide the Nets with a solid three-level scorer on the wing, though he'll still have to compete for playing time with Cameron Johnson (hip) and a plethora of young talent in Jalen Wilson, Ziaire Williams and Tyrese Martin. While Lewis isn't guaranteed playing time with Brooklyn, he'll likely be able to make more of an impact than he had with Los Angeles.

DECEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from G League Lewis was recalled from the Lakers' G League affiliate Sunday.

Impact Lewis will rejoin the parent club ahead of its matchup versus the Pistons on Monday. The 22-year-old has received very little playing time at the NBA level, though he has averaged 18.4 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.1 blocks across 33.7 minutes per contest over eight G League outings.

Impact Lewis will likely be back in South Bay shortly. He's made just seven appearances at the NBA level with an average of 4.1 minutes per contest.

Recalled after G League game Lewis was recalled from the G League's South Bay Lakers on Saturday.

Impact Lewis was assigned to the G League on Saturday morning and played 41 minutes during South Bay's 119-111 win over the San Diego Clippers. He posted a game-high 26 points (10-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and a steal before being recalled to the NBA club after the game. Lewis has played in six NBA contests this season but hasn't seen more than 10 minutes in any of them, averaging 4.5 per contest.

DECEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Fails to score in nine minutes Lewis finished Wednesday's 134-93 loss to the Heat with zero points (0-2 FG) in nine minutes.

Impact Lewis logged a career-high nine minutes, sliding into the rotation for just the sixth time this season. Having only touched the floor 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.

DECEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoins parent club Los Angeles recalled Lewis from the G League's South Bay Lakers on Tuesday.

Impact Lewis continues to bounce back and forth between South Bay and Los Angeles, but he's not expected to see many minutes with the NBA club anytime soon.
