Maxwell Lewis suffers knee injury on Nets debut

But Brooklyn still trailed by as much as 21 and saw Clowney leave with a lower back injury in the third quarter and Lewis, who arrived with Russell and was making his debut, have to be carried off in the fourth with an apparent knee injury.  “The toughest part of today is seeing one of your guys going down. We’re all, thinking about the kid, Max,” head coach Jordi Fernandez said. “We don’t know the extent of the injury. Obviously, we’ll MRI, but all our group was thinking about him, and we’re sending all positive energy. “So, that’s what’s more important. The rest of the game doesn’t matter right now.”
