McCullough (knee) has been cleared to play, but the Nets will hold off on having him make his NBA debut until after the All-Star break, Fred Katz of FOX Sports reports.

Analysis:

Despite sustaining a torn right ACL in his lone season at Syracuse, McCullough was still drafted in the first round by the Nets last summer as a developmental option. Even though he appears to be nearly fully recovered from the knee injury, he'll likely only see limited minutes over the final couple months of the season.
