Injured Markel Brown Will Sit Out Preseason for Nets

Markel Brown recently injured himself while hooping at … Cameron Indoor?

After Markel Brown sat out the team’s inaugural preseason game against Fenerbahce Ulker, the Nets officially ruled Brown out for the remainder of the postseason to recover from a left oblique strain.

Brown said Monday night that the injury was a “freak accident” that occurred during a passing drill at Duke. “I made a turn and felt a pop.”

Brown is in year two of a $1.3 million contract. If he is retained in 2016, he will make another $1.1 million.
