33 Allen Crabbe SG

Crabbe (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Pistons, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Crabbe sprained his left ankle just over a week ago and continues to deal with some lingering discomfort heading into the opener. The Nets will avoid rushing him back too soon and have now officially ruled Crabbe out for Wednesday. Along with Crabbe, DeMarre Carroll is also expected to sit out after recently undergoing ankle surgery, which means the Nets will be thin on depth on the wing. Look for guys like Joe Harris and Caris LeVert to see the biggest uptick in workload for the time being.

Crabbe (ankle) didn't practice Sunday, Greg Logan of Newsday reports.

Crabbe has been dealing with an lingering ankle injury since suffering the injury last Monday against Detroit. Although the injury doesn't seem too serious right now, It's likely that Crabbe will be a game-time decision for the season opener Wednesday at Detroit.

Crabbe (ankle) didn't practice Thursday and has been ruled out for Friday's preseason finale against the Knicks, Greg Logan of Newsday reports.

Crabbe will be missing a second straight contest, though he apparently indicated that his injury isn't anything serious. As a result, it appears Friday's absence is merely precautionary. With Crabbe sidelined, as well as Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (groin), the likes of Joe Harris, Caris LeVert and DeMarre Carroll should see expanded roles once again. Look for Crabbe to be back to full strength ahead of next week's regular-season opener.

Crabbe (ankle) won't play Wednesday against Toronto, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Crabbe suffered a left ankle sprain Monday against the Pistons, and although X-rays came back negative, he'll be held out Wednesday. The same injury slowed Crabbe down in last year's preseason, but he managed to take the court for the first game of the 2017 campaign. The 26-year-old will have one more chance to play in the preseason Friday versus the Knicks before Brooklyn's regular season begins Sept. 17 in Detroit.

Crabbe has been diagnosed with a left ankle sprain.

Crabbe headed to the locker room early in Monday's exhibition against Detroit following an awkward landing on his left ankle. After further evaluation, his X-rays came back negative, which is a good news for the Nets. It's unclear if the 26-year-old will be forced to miss any time at the start the regular season, but it appears unlikely that he'll take the court for Brooklyn's next preseason game Wednesday against Toronto. Both Joe Harris and Caris LeVert could benefit if Crabbe can't play in the near future.
