Newly-acquired point guard Devin Harris could begin his reign as New Jersey's floor leader on Thursday, according to the Associated Press.

He practiced with the team for the first time on Wednesday and will be a game-time decision for the Nets when they take on the Bucks on Thursday night.

"We really want him to take ownership with this," coach Lawrence Frank said. "We want him to feel comfortable with this, be assertive and have the freedom to make some play calls."
