Nets' Anthony Bennett: Set to move back to bench

Bennett is expected to move back to the bench for Monday's game against the Wizards, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Analysis:

With Trevor Booker cleared to play after missing Saturday's loss to the Bucks while dealing with illness, he's expected to immediately reclaim his starting role at power forward. Bennett performed admirably in Booker's stead with seven points and a career-high 14 rebounds over 23 minutes, but he'll likely notice a steep drop off in his playing time now that the top option at the position is available. Bennett was averaging just 4.8 points and 2.5 rebounds in 9.8 minutes per game over his 11 appearances on the season prior to Saturday's outing.
