Markel Brown had time to kill after suffering an oblique strain during the Nets’ training camp at Duke three weeks ago. So how did he spend his time?
“I’ve been sitting in the hot tub, just chilling,” Brown said with a smile after Wednesday’s practice. “[There wasn’t] really anything I could treat or anything to speed up the process.
“I got on the elliptical a little bit, I got on the [anti-gravity] treadmill, but that’s been the last couple days. Before that, I was just chilling in the hot tub.”
But Wednesday, rather than sitting in the hot tub or jogging on the elliptical, Brown participated in portions of practice for the first time since suffering the injury.
