Mikel Brown Lacks Clear Timeline as Nets Prioritize Ankle Recovery

Brooklyn Nets rookie guard Mikel Brown remains without a clear timetable for return and has not been cleared for contact after rolling his left ankle before training camp. Although Brown has resumed limited on-court movement during practice, the team's performance staff is taking a cautious, step-by-step rehabilitation approach to ensure a 100 percent recovery. It remains uncertain if Brown will see live action during Brooklyn's four preseason games, which begin Tuesday in Charlotte.
