Brown's MRI on Thursday confirmed that he suffered a left oblique strain. He'll be evaluated by Dr. Riley Williams in New York over the weekend.

Analysis:

The team hasn't released a corresponding timetable to the oblique injury, but perhaps that will come following the doctor visit over the weekend. Unless it's something overly serious, it shouldn't impact Brown's availability for the regular season. However, he's expected to slot behind both Jarrett Jack and Shane Larkin on the Nets' depth chart when healthy, likely limiting his minutes.
