Get ready folks: Mikel Brown Jr. will make his Brooklyn Nets preseason debut against the Heat on Wednesday.
The No. 6 pick in the 2026 Draft has missed most of contact drills in training camp and the first three games of preseason due to a rolled ankle. GM Sean Marks told reporters the injury wouldn’t cost Brown Jr. serious time and his word is staying true.
Brown Jr. will be injected into a lineup that’s won all three of its games. They’re going for a perfect 4-0 with their lottery pick leading the way.
Last one before the real thing begins on Oct. 21 — enjoy!
