Previous injury, Nets numbers game drive Dzanan Musa to G League

Early Sunday morning, the Brooklyn Nets elected to send 2018 first round pick Dzanan Musa to their G League affiliate, the Long Island Nets.

Since injuring his right ankle in a World Cup Qualifier last month, the Nets have been very careful with Musa.

Musa has been limited to only two regular season games, after playing two preseason games, and did not practice with the team until October 1.

“He definitely showed some pick-and-Roll ability today,” Atkinson said of Musa, who he later compared to Mike Dunleavy, following his first Nets practice earlier this month.
