EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -Point guard Devin Harris and power forward Yi Jianlian are returning to the New Jersey Nets lineup in a bid to help the team avoid the worst record in NBA history.
Harris and Yi practiced on Friday and both said they would play for the Nets (7-61) on Saturday against the Toronto Raptors at the Izod Center.
The Nets need to win three of their final 14 games to avoid tying or breaking the league’s record for single-season futility, a 9-73 mark set by the Philadelphia 76ers in 1972-73.
Harris has missed the last two games with an upper respiratory infection. Yi has missed the last six with a sprained left ankle.
New Jersey has lost six in a row, including losses to Atlanta and Philadelphia in its last two games.
