Glenn Robinson III’s potential breakout campaign will be delayed by two months due to a “severely sprained” ankle, reports ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The injury was reportedly suffered when the athletic wing attacked the basket and landed awkwardly on his left leg.
Following an offseason in which he prepared for the ample opportunity before him by practicing attacking more out of ball screens, making plays off the dribble, and finishing through contact, Robinson III was widely expected to compete for minutes at small forward with newcomer Bojan Bogdanovic.
“He’s athletic, obviously,” Kevin Pritchard said at media day of the 23-year-old’s readiness to make a leap this season.
