Brooklyn Nets guard Mikel Brown will not participate in Wednesday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans due to an illness, according to Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today.
Brown was previously sidelined for the Nets’ 130-93 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday as part of back injury management. He had been expected to return to the lineup, but reports indicate that he fell ill overnight. The Nets initially listed him as questionable on Wednesday before officially downgrading him to out.
Despite Brown’s absence, the Nets may receive support in the backcourt from Egor Demin, who has been listed as probable after missing six consecutive games due to a leg injury. His potential return could help bolster the team’s roster as they face the Pelicans.
