The Long Island Nets met the Maine Celtics on Wednesday evening and once again looked outmatched, losing, 120-100, their eighth straight defeat and a new franchise record. Long Island dropped to 2-11, the G League’s worst record. However, the big game story may be less about the outcome of the contest and more about the severity of the left leg injury suffered by Jacky Cui.
The 21-year-old went down with a left leg injury late in the second quarter. With under two minutes left before halftime, Cui’s left knee buckled on an awkward landing while trying to snag a rebound.
