Mikel Brown Jr. has no timetable as Nets prioritize full recovery

Brooklyn Nets rookie Mikel Brown Jr. is currently without a definitive return timeline as the franchise focuses entirely on his complete recovery from a left ankle sprain sustained last week.

While the newcomer has resumed limited individual workouts on the court, he has not yet received clearance for contact and remains uncertain about participating in any preseason games ahead of the regular-season opener on October 21.

During training camp activities at the team facility, head coach Jordi Fernández adjusted practice plans by implementing a no-contact session to manage player fatigue. Meanwhile, teammate Michael Porter Jr. highlighted the strong early performances of Keon Ellis, noting his proficiency on both defense and shooting.
