Right before Yi Jianlian got injured in early January this season, he finally looked like he’d turned the corner. He was scoring about 12 points a game and was playing anywhere from 25 to even 38 minutes a game.

Nets Bench Comes Up Big Against T-Wolves

Dec 5th, 2008 | By Patrick Hickey, Jr. | Category: New Jersey Nets
