Brooklyn Nets guard Joe Harris will undergo ankle surgery to repair a little bone particle in his ankle. He is expected to be out for the next four to eight weeks although there’s optimism in the team that he can make the shorter end of the timeline, according to Adrian Wojnarowski from ESPN.

Harris has missed the last six games dealing with an ankle injury which he got after playing only 13 minutes against the Oklahoma City Thunder on November 14. In his absence, Patty Mills, one of the veteran additions in the offseason, got promoted to the starting lineup and James Harden moved to the shooting guard position.
In the 14 games Harris has played in the season, he’s averaging 11.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 30.2 minutes per game while shooting one of his best percentages 46.6% from three.
Currently, the Nets hold the top position in the Eastern Conference with a 14-6 record.
