Nets exhale as top draft pick’s injury not as bad as feared

The Nets didn’t have the results of Dzanan Musa’s MRI exam, but they were confident the first-round pick had avoided any catastrophic injury and will be ready for training camp. Considering earlier reports, it’s beyond best-case scenario.

Musa got hurt in the final minute of Bosnia’s loss to the Czech Republic in FIBA World Cup qualifying. Bosnian media reported Musa had suffered a right Achilles injury, which could have been a severe long-term injury. But Nets sources say it’s just an ankle injury and likely not a bad one.
