Kirilenko (ankle) is looking to return midweek, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Analysis:

The Nets take the floor Tuesday against the Rockets and Wednesday at New York, which are the particular games that he's targeting. He's already been ruled out for Sunday's tilt versus the Timberwolves, or his fourth consecutive DNP as a result of a left ankle sprain, but his March output -- 3.7 points (on 55.2 percent shooting), 1.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 0.7 assists per game across 10 appearances -- wasn't exactly something to write home about.
