Brown (knee) made his first appearance for the Nets since Dec. 17 in the loss to the Grizzlies on Wednesday. He played three minutes and scored two points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT).

Brown received a smattering of playing time in early December, but had spent a stint in the D-League. A rash of injuries would need to hit the Nets for Brown to have fantasy value.

Brown (knee) is active for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, Tim Bontemps of the New York Post reports.

Brown has been sidelined with a knee sprain for nearly a month, but the rookie returned to practice recently and will be an option off of the bench for Lionel Hollins. The Oklahoma State product has appeared in only seven games this season.

Brown is dealing with a knee sprain and won't be reevaluated until sometime next week, the New York Post reports.

Brown has only played in seven games for the Nets this season and he hasn't played since Dec. 17. When he returns to health, it's unlikely that he'll see significant time on the court. Even so, he should be considered out until he's reevaluated next week.

Brown was recalled from the D-League on Thursday, Rod Boone of Newsday reports.

Brown has bounced back and forth between the Nets and the D-League this season, and that will likely continue going forward. The rookie has seen time in only seven games for Brooklyn and hasn't played since mid-December.

Brown was assigned to the D-League on Thursday, Alex Raskin of the Wall Street Journal reports.

Brown has only appeared in seven games this season, averaging 1.9 points per game in 5.4 minutes. Fellow-rookie Cory Jefferson will join Brown with the Maine Red Claws.

Brown (hip) sat Wednesday's game against the Spurs, and remains a game-time decision moving forward.

Brown had already been participating in full-contact during practice, but he has yet to log any minutes on the court. Even when he's healthy, he could struggle to find minutes in a deep backcourt rotation.

Brown (hip) is hoping to participate in full-contact practice Saturday, which will put him in a good spot to make a return to the court Sunday against the Bulls, the New York Post reports.

Brown managed to participate in non-contact drills Friday but still needs to successfully make it through Saturday's practice before Sunday's game is a real possibility. If he ends up playing Sunday, it will likely be in limited fashion as he's only played for three minutes this season.

Brown (hip) did not practice Tuesday, Rod Boone of Newsday reports.

Brown has a right hip pointer and has now missed two straight days of practice. The athletic rookie out of Oklahoma State isn't much of a fantasy consideration, though, as he's remained buried on Lionel Hollins' bench to date.

Brown (right hip pointer) did not practice Monday, the Wall Street Journal's Alex Raskin reports.

He is buried on the Nets' bench even when he is healthy, and only holds value in deeper dynasty leagues at the moment.

Brown has yet to play a game for the Nets, despite being in full health.

Brown has been stuck on the bench this season, and unfortunately for him, there's no glimmer of hope suggesting that he'll see much time on the court this season. Unless the injury bug hits the Nets this year, Brown will likely stay off the court.

Brown (illness) will not play Wednesday against the Celtics, Andy Vasquez of The Record reports.

Brown seems to be dealing with the same stomach virus as Kevin Garnett, and the pair will not join the Nets on the trip to Boston. Both are expected to recuperate in time for the regular season opener, however.

Brown (illness) will miss Monday's game against the 76ers, the Wall Street Journal's Alex Raskin reports.

The uber-athletic rookie continues to be sidelined with a stomach virus, but one would imagine he'll be healthy in time for the start of the regular season.

Brown is dealing with a stomach virus and won't be available for Sunday's preseason game against the Celtics, Mike Mazzeo of ESPN reports.

Brown came down with the same stomach virus that teammate Kevin Garnett has been dealing with over the past few days. Despite the illness, Brown doesn't seem to be in any real danger of having to sit for an extended period of time. His next opportunity to play will be against the 76ers on Monday.

Brown (hand) played 14 minutes in Tuesday's game versus Maccabi Tel Aviv. He pulled down two rebounds and dished out one assist while scoring zero points.

Brown returned to game action Tuesday after suffering a non-displaced fracture of the fourth metacarpal in his right hand back in early August. During the Summer League, he was playing very well as an efficient scorer, rebounder and assist man. His one problem seemed to be in the turnover category. On Tuesday, he didn't show us much as he scored zero points and had zero turnovers. While Brown has the potential to contribute in some categories, he still needs to prove himself before the regular season in order to truly determine his fantasy value.

Brown (hand) has been cleared to practice, Nets Daily reports.

Brown suffered a non-displaced fracture of his hand in August, but he is healthy and ready to start practicing. The original expected timetable of return was four-to-six weeks, so it's not surprising he's been cleared to practice. He'll start camp trying to earn a spot in the rotation at the shooting guard position, but he'll need to have an improved three-point shot, and stellar defense in order to get some time on the court. We'll wait and see how he looks in camp in order to determine what kind of role he could end up having.

Brown suffered a non-displaced fracture of the fourth metacarpal in his right hand and is expected be out four-to-six weeks while recovering, Yahoo! Sports reports.

Brown, a second-round pick this year, signed with the Nets last month for the upcoming season. The springy combo guard's broken hand will prevent him from completing basketball activities for the next month or so. With that timetable, Brown should be ready to return on the fringe of the beginning of training camp.

Nets sign G Markel Brown.

He compared himself to Russell Westbrook because of his backup role in college, but the 44th pick in the draft has a long way to go. Brown was productive in Orlando this month with 10.0 points per game on 52.9 percent from the field to go with 3.2 dimes, but he'll likely be starting his career off in the D-League.

Markel Brown said on Friday that he's a "Russell Westbrook-type player."

He compared himself to Westbrook because Brown was behind Marcus Smart while Westy had to play behind Darren Collison at UCLA. The same can be said for a guy like Eric Bledsoe who played behind John Wall, so Brown certainly wouldn't be the first second-string NCAA point guard to shine in the NBA. That said, he is setting the bar a little too high for himself here. The Oklahoma State product is expected to play in summer league and does have athleticism at 6'3".
