Not availbale vs. Orlando
Saraf has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Magic due to left knee soreness.
Analysis
Saraf was recalled from the G League by the Nets on Monday, but the rookie first-rounder will not be available for Wednesday's home tilt. He'll look to progress enough in his recovery to be available for Friday's game against the Clippers. He's bounced back and forth between the G League and NBA this season, averaging 5.4 points, 2.8 assists, 1.6 rebounds and 0.7 steals over 16.9 minutes per game in 12 regular-season outings (five starts) with the parent club.

Recalled from G League
Brooklyn recalled Saraf from the G League's Long Island Nets on Monday.
Analysis
It appears the rookie first-rounder is joining the parent team for Wednesday's game against the Magic. However, most of Saraf's development should continue to come in the G League this year.
