Brooklyn Nets Exercise Caution with Mikel Brown Ankle Injury

The Brooklyn Nets are taking a cautious rehab approach with rookie guard Mikel Brown after he rolled his left ankle prior to training camp. The No. 6 overall draft pick has resumed light on-court activity and strengthening exercises but has not yet been cleared for full-contact work or given a firm return timeline. Nets general manager Sean Marks indicated Brown is not expected to miss considerable time as he targets a full recovery.
