Josh Lewenberg: Rondae Hollis-Jefferson will wear “Speak Up” on the back of his jersey for the restart. “I feel like we should all speak up and say something.”

Sources say Dallas is on the look-out for wings who can defend, but their efforts at landing a top target, Toronto’s Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, have thus far fallen flat. Those talks have stalled, but there is still time for the Mavs to get what they’re looking for – either there or elsewhere.
Eric Koreen: RHJ is back tonight
Mavs interested in Kidd-Gilchrist, Hollis-Jefferson
Brad Townsend: Reporting with @Rick Bonnell, Mavericks are mulling whether to add a 3/4 defender. I’m told they have “kicked tires” on Charlotte’s Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Toronto’s Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, but purely exploratory at this point. Trade deadline is one week from today.
Doug Smith: According to mid-day injury report, no Gasol (hamstring), Hollis-Jefferson (ankle), Miller (neck sprain) or Hernandez (ankle) for the Raptors in Detroit tonight
Josh Lewenberg: Hollis-Jefferson and McCaw are out tonight.
Eric Smith: Sprained right ankle for Rondae Hollis-Jefferson. He will not return, per Raps PR
Doug Smith: In an absolutely no-brainer move, NBA’s L2M report from Raptors/Blazers makes clear the Whiteside screen on RHJ before Lillard’s game-tying 3 was indeed a foul. How it was missed on the court in real time is mystifying
Anthony Puccio: Nets just showed a tribute video for Rondae Hollis-Jefferson. Fans cheer, Rondae waves around and thanks the crowd. The only Net to survive the King era.
Ryan Wolstat: Raptors will be without McCaw and Hollis-Jefferson again vs. Bulls
Tim Bontemps: Nick Nurse says both Pat McCaw and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson remain out tonight. Said there’s a possibility at least one could return tomorrow against the Bulls in Chicago.
Last week, the Sunwing Foundation and Royalton Luxury Resorts assisted NBA players Jamal Murray and Rondae-Hollis Jefferson, in hosting basketball camps for local youth in Montego Bay, Jamaica. The three basketball camps took place at Montego Bay Community College over September 20 and September 21 in collaboration with the Jamaica National Basketball Association and had hundreds of children in attendance.
The three basketball camp sessions were organized with the goal of empowering local youth between the ages of eight and 16 to become leaders in their community. In addition to hosting the camps, Jamal Murray and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson also hand-delivered over 400 Sunwing Foundation school backpacks and provided giveaways by adidas and the Denver Nuggets.
Josh Lewenberg: Hollis-Jefferson said he thought the Raptors might draft him with their 20th pick in 2015 (they took Delon Wright instead and Rondae went 23rd to Portland). He’s happy to end up in Toronto now, thinks it’s going to be a good fit, especially on the defensive end.
Josh Lewenberg: Raptors make the Hollis-Jefferson signing official.
Blake Murphy: Hollis-Jefferson’s deal is for the minimum, per a source, by the way.
Reporters rushed him as he went into the Nets locker room. He cheered and rapped, “Look out Brooklyn, here I come… You can’t hide, you can’t run. I’m coming, baby!” He was great to the media and people around him. Personally, that same Arizona sophomore came into the locker room before a game in 2015. Noticing something off, Rondae asked if I was alright. He insisted to pull up a chair and talk about life – from his end to my end. He turned out to be the first real feature story I ever wrote, murmuring words that ring true for so many people facing adversity: There’s beauty in the struggle.
During the interview, Rondae became emotional. He told me about his life growing up, how he rarely got to live with his mom because she was a single mother working tireless hours through the day and night. Saying “goodbye” to her was so difficult because he really only got to live with her for a couple of years. Jumping from house to house as a kid, Rondae found guidance and strength in his grandfather.
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson: Brooklynnnnn I Love You.. can’t believe it’s been 4 years ha.. Thank you 🙌🏽
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson: 🙏🏽🙏🏽 say a prayer for @Jusuf Nurkic May Allah be with you on your road to recovery
Brian Lewis: Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is OK to go for the #Nets after having to get stitched up from a head to head blow in the last game. #Celtics
Michael Scotto: Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson said the season’s been a “roller coaster” with various injuries and said, “Sometimes you get faced with adversity, and it’s just God seeing how well you can bounce back and how well you can overcome it before he throws the great things at you”
Brian Lewis: #Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (left shoulder) is questionable vs. the #Knicks. Atkinson: “I think they’re doing further check-ups with him. I said it wasn’t bad, but let’s hold off and find out for sure.” #nyk
Brian Lewis: The #Nets say “no injury to report” regarding Rondae Hollis-Jefferson. That should be an encouraging sign for their #MLKDay game vs. the #Kings after he limped off tonight.
Michael Scotto: Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (adductor strain) was upgraded to PROBABLE for tomorrow’s game against the Rockets. Shabazz Napier (hamstring tightness) is QUESTIONABLE. Allen Crabbe (knee), Jared Dudley (hamstring), Caris LeVert (foot) and Dzanan Musa (shoulder) are OUT.
Michael Gallagher: Nets Injury Update: Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (adductor strain) and Shabazz Napier (right hamstring tightness) are OUT for tonight’s game vs. Boston.
Brian Lewis: Allen Crabbe and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (right adductor strain) are both out for the #Nets game tomorrow vs the #Pelicans.
Though Atkinson would not put any expectations on when Hollis-Jefferson might be able to return, he was optimistic. “It’s not a pull, it’s not a tear, [it’s] a strain. So that’s good news,” Atkinson said. “I can’t give you a timetable, but it’s not a huge, long process like he went through in the offseason. So I’d say the news is positive in that sense.”

The Spencer Dinwiddie $1.6M free agent hold is now replaced by a $10.6M salary in 2019-20. The Nets are still projected to have cap flexibility in July but how much will be based on the future of restricted free agents D’Angelo Russell and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson.
