Brooklyn Nets rookie Ben Saraf is nearing a return from a multi-week absence due to an ankle injury. The Nets listed the point guard as questionable for Friday's home matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. Saraf sprained his left ankle during a G League game with the Long Island Nets on Nov. 15.

The 19-year-old started Brooklyn's first five games at point guard after the team selected him with the No. 26 pick in June's draft. He averaged 3.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists on 22/17/67 shooting splits in 18.2 minutes per game during that span.

The Nets removed Saraf from the rotation amid his early struggles before the start of the G League season.
