Rotowire
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.
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.

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

Nets' Maxwell Lewis: Plays well in 18 minutes
Rotowire
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.
Lewis provided a spark off the Brooklyn bench, giving the coaching staff something to consider. With less than two weeks remaining in the regular season and with the Nets in player evaluation mode, Lewis will likely get an extended look in the rotation at some point. Fantasy managers in deeper formats can keep an eye out for him.

Nets' Maxwell Lewis: Heats up with 15 points off bench
Rotowire
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.
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.

Nets' Maxwell Lewis: Rare appearance in loss
Rotowire
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.
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.

Nets' Maxwell Lewis: Diagnosed with fractured tibia
Rotowire
The Nets announced Friday that Lewis has been diagnosed with a fractured left tibia, and his status will be updated in four weeks, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Lewis suffered the severe injury just over a minute into his Nets debut in Wednesday's 130-113 loss to the Raptors, after Brooklyn had recently acquired him from the Lakers. While he appears to have avoided a season-ending injury and doesn't look as though he'll require surgery, the four-week timeline is merely a re-evaluation date, so Lewis should be expected to miss additional time beyond that. The second-year forward will most likely be sidelined through the All-Star break.

Rotowire
Lewis exited with 2:47 remaining in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's 130-113 loss to the Raptors with an apparent left knee injury, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Rotowire
The Nets acquired Lewis, guard D'Angelo Russell and second-round draft picks in 2027, 2030 and 2031 from the Lakers on Sunday in exchange for forward Dorian Finney-Smith and guard Shake Milton, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Lewis will join a rebuilding Nets squad after receiving little playing time over his first one-plus seasons in Los Angeles, logging just 3.2 minutes per game over 41 appearances. Though the move to a rebuilding Nets squad should present with a clearer path to playing time, Lewis still may find himself outside of head coach Jordi Fernandez's rotation initially.

Lakers' Maxwell Lewis: Fails to score in nine minutes
Rotowire
Lewis finished Wednesday's 134-93 loss to the Heat with zero points (0-2 FG) in nine minutes.
Lewis logged a career-high nine minutes, sliding into the rotation for just the sixth time this season. Having touched the floor only 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.
