Over the past few weeks, the Nets have gone through some stretches where they had to play without some of their key contributors. We’re not sure if Jerry Stackhouse is considered a “key” at this point, though he did provide the team with some very meaningful minutes earlier this season.

He hasn’t appeared in a game since Jan. 26, but his return will give P.J. Carlesimo another veteran that he can turn to in tight spots, even though there is some talk of him wanting to tighten the rotation.

Stack is back at practice, but he's in sweats. #Nets
