It looks like we’ll see Danny Wolf get some reps in Brooklyn, but Ben Saraf’s injury suffered Sunday in G League action will put him out a minimum of 10 days.
That’s the takeaway from two Nets announcements
Monday afternoon. First, the Nets announced both that three of the Flatbush 5 — Wolf, Sarah and Nolan Traore — will be returning to Brooklyn after a four-game stretch, then posted a medical update that Saraf will be out for at least 10 days with a left ankle sprain. Saraf sprained his left ankle in the final second of the first half Sunday in Portland. Maine…
Of the three, Wolf has played the best averaging 22.0 points and 10.0 rebounds with shooting splits of 48/39/80. He also registered 2.3 assists and 1.3 blocks. Long Island has used him more as a scorer than a point center which is what he played in his year at Michigan. Expect him to get more reps on his return to Brooklyn.
In their last game Sunday, both Saraf and Traore played well. Saraf connected on three of his six shot attempts in the first half, including hitting one of his three tries from deep. He finished the first half with seven points, and four rebounds.
Traore also showed signs of improvement. He shot the ball very well, scoring 17 points, connecting on seven of his 14 shots from the field. Traore got his teammates involved as well, picking up five assists in the process. Despite being a turnover machine in the early going of the season, Traore only had four turnovers Sunday, which is trending in the right direction.
Brooklyn plays again Tuesday vs. the Celtics at Barclays, then heads to Boston Friday for the second half of a home and home
