Brooklyn Nets guard Joe Harris received a second opinion on his injured left ankle after experiencing setbacks in his rehab, Chris Haynes reported on TNT during the Los Angeles Lakers at Nets matchup Tuesday.
As relayed by Billy Reinhardt of NetsDaily, Harris sought the second opinion in Indiana, and play-by-play announcer Ian Eagle noted that the focus is for the wing to return after the All-Star break, which ends Feb. 23.
Harris has been out since Nov. 16 with what was initially diagnosed as a left ankle sprain.
Two weeks later, Nets head coach Steve Nash announced that Harris would be undergoing arthroscopic surgery to remove “a little bone particle” in his ankle.
Harris’ agent, Mark Bartelstein, told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski on Nov. 29 that he was expected to miss four to eight weeks.
The New York Post’s Brian Lewis asked Nash about Harris’ progress Sunday, and the coach admitted that the wing had some setbacks.

He’s been doing a tug-of-war between making progress and then having some irritation. It’s really a process thats been tricky.” <a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/nets?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>#nets</a>
