Long-range threat Nets can’t afford to lose sprains his ankle
Allen Crabbe Anthony J. CausiDETROIT — So you thought the Nets’ injury problems were already bad enough? Their woes got worse Monday night, when returning starter Allen Crabbe suffered a sprained left ankle.
The Nets were already without five players, including starting power forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson. Now they lost their starting shooting guard as well when Crabbe rolled his ankle just 2:46 into the game. He limped off with help from Kenneth Faried and Dzanan Musa and didn’t return.
“Sprained ankle right now. X-rays are negative. We’ll know later,” coach Kenny Atkinson said of Crabbe, whose status for Wednesday against Toronto is uncertain.
