Brooklyn Nets may have found Allen Crabbe’s role after latest loss
The Brooklyn Nets lost their first game after the All-Star break to the Portland Trailblazers, but may have found just where Allen Crabbe fits.
It’s not easy playing the team that traded you. There are expectations, narratives set. Allen Crabbe battled both the familiarity of old teammates and a reoccurring knee injury for his best game of the season on Thursday.
In 29 minutes on the floor, he scored 17 points on 7-for-13 shooting from the field. Crabbe played almost entirely with the Nets second unit and reserves, playing the role of offensive option one in most of those lineups.
