Harris To Make Return As Reserve

The Nets will get All-Star guard Devin Harris back for Saturday night's game against the Knicks.

New Jersey has yet to win a game this season.

"I'm not made for a suit," Harris said Friday. "I'm looking forward to getting out there and running up and down."

He hasn't played since Oct. 30 because of a strained right groin. His minutes aren't yet determined, but coach Lawrence Frank is unlikely to overwork Harris.

"Who knows?" Harris said of the impact he can have against New York.

"The last time I came off the bench I played extremely well. We'll see how it is [today]. I know I've got a ball of energy. I'll burst out as much as I can. We'll see when it comes down to that time of truth in the fourth quarter if we can pull this one out."
