Powell (ankle) is out for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.

Nets' Drake Powell: Sitting out Sunday
Powell (ankle) won't play in Sunday's game against Toronto.
Powell sprained his right ankle in Thursdsay's game against the Heat -- the same ankle he sprained in the first game of the season -- and he'll be sidelined for Sunday's contest. The rookie is averaging 6.0 points, 1.9 assists and 1.8 rebounds across 17.7 minutes per game. His next chance to play will come Tuesday at Philadelphia. While he's out, Jalen Wilson and Tyrese Martin could see an uptick in minutes.

Nets' Drake Powell: Won't return Thursday
Powell will not return to Thursday's game versus the Heat due to a right ankle sprain, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Powell initially sprained his right ankle in Brooklyn's season-opening loss to Charlotte, which forced him to spend six games on the sidelines. The severity of Powell's new ankle sprain isn't clear, but it wouldn't be shocking to see him miss Sunday's matchup with the Raptors. While Powell is out, there should be more minutes available for Jalen Wilson.

Nets' Drake Powell: Headed to locker room
Powell went back to the locker room during Thursday's game with an apparent right ankle injury, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.
Powell seemed to tweak the same right ankle that has given him so much trouble this season, and he was sporting a serious limp as he was helped back to the locker room. For now, Powell should be considered questionable to return.

Nets' Drake Powell: Returns to parent club
The Nets recalled Powell from the G League's Long Island Nets on Thursday, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Following this past Saturday's win over the Pelicans, the Nets had a six-day break in their schedule, so the rookie first-round pick was sent to the G League so that he could continue to see meaningful reps. Powell played in both ends of Long Island's Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back set versus the College Park Skyhawks and Westchester Knicks, respectively, averaging 7.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.5 steals in 28.7 minutes between those contests. Now that he's back with the parent club, Powell should settle back into the Brooklyn rotation during Friday's game at Dallas.

Nets' Drake Powell: Assigned to G League
Brooklyn assigned Powell to the G League's Long Island Nets on Monday.
Brooklyn is off until Dec. 12, so this move will allow the rookie to get some reps in the G League to stay sharp.

Nets' Drake Powell: Off injury report
Powell (knee) isn't part of the Nets' injury report for Saturday's game against the Pelicans, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Powell sat out the Nets' most recent game -- the tail end of a back-to-back -- but he'll be a full go for Saturday's contest. In his last 13 games, Powell is averaging 7.2 points, 2.2 assists and 1.9 rebounds across 21.2 minutes.

Nets' Drake Powell: Sitting out vs. Jazz
Powell (knee) is out for Thursday's game against the Jazz, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Thursday night is the second day of back-to-back games for the Nets, who've chosen to give Powell a chance to rest for knee injury management. The rookie should return Saturday against the Pelicans. His absence on top of Michael Porter (back) sitting out should allow Danny Wolf and Ziaire Williams to play more minutes in the frontcourt.

Nets' Drake Powell: Puts up 10 off bench
Powell chipped in 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt), one rebound, four assists and three steals over 24 minutes during Monday's 116-103 win over the Hornets.
With the absence of Terance Mann (ribs), Powell was able to take advantage of the opportunity, outpacing Tyrese Martin (who started in place of Mann) in points and minutes. While Mann is slated to return relatively soon, Powell should continue to enjoy an increased role within Brooklyn's rotation in the meantime.

Nets' Drake Powell: Ties career high with 15 points
Powell accumulated 15 points (5-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal across 24 minutes during Monday's 113-100 loss to the Knicks.
Powell had the second 15-point performance of his young career as he continues to try to carve out a consistent role for himself. Brooklyn is loaded when it comes to youth, all of them basically interchangeable at this point. There is no reason to run out and add Powell, although the situation in Brooklyn is worth monitoring as the season progresses, just in case Powell can establish himself ahead of his direct competition for minutes.

Nets' Drake Powell: Drops six in win
Powell registered six points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 19 minutes during Sunday's 129-106 win over the Wizards.
Powell has now logged exactly six points in four of his last five contests, averaging 2.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.2 blocks and 1.0 threes made in that span. Powell will continue to back up Terance Mann until Cam Thomas (hamstring) returns later in the season.

Nets' Drake Powell: Leads bench in scoring
Powell produced 15 points (5-8 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists, two rebounds and one steal in 23 minutes during Sunday's 134-98 loss to the Knicks.
Powell took full advantage of his opportunities off the bench, drilling all three of his attempts from beyond the arc. The rookie has seen a sizable uptick in playing time over his last two appearances, logging 27 minutes in Friday's loss to Detroit and now 23 minutes Sunday after totaling just 11 minutes in his first two games of the new campaign.

Nets' Drake Powell: Big minutes off bench Friday
Powell tallied six points (3-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes off the bench in Friday's 125-107 loss to the Pistons.
Powell sprained his right ankle in a loss to the 76ers last Sunday and was unavailable for the Nets' ensuing two games before returning to action Friday. Though he had been limited to just 11 total minutes in his prior two appearances for Brooklyn, Powell benefited from extended playing time Friday due to the blowout nature of the contest as well as the absences of Cam Thomas (hamstring) and fellow rookie first-round picks Ben Saraf and Nolan Traore, the latter two of whom were assigned to the G League's Long Island Nets. Thomas is considered weeks away from returning, but Powell could lose out on some minutes once Brooklyn decides to recall Saraf and/or Traore.
