Rondae Hollis-Jefferson has kid, expected to play for Nets Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson missed Thursday's practice for the birth of his child but is expected to make his season debut on Friday versus the New York Knicks.

What It Means:

Hollis-Jefferson sat out Wednesday's season opener due to a groin issue that also sidelined him for training camp and the preseason. That no longer seems to be a concern and it sounds like he will suit up on Friday.

numberFire's models project Hollis-Jefferson to average 14.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.1 steals, and 0.6 blocks in 29.1 minutes per game this season.
