Nets Rookie Ben Saraf Sidelined by G League Ankle Sprain With 10-Day Timeline for Recheck

Brooklyn shifts minutes to fellow rookies Nolan Traore and Danny Wolf.

Overview

  • The Nets said Monday that Ben Saraf suffered a left ankle sprain in Long Island’s game Saturday and will be reevaluated in 10 days.
  • Saraf logged seven points, four rebounds and five assists in 16 minutes before exiting Long Island’s 127-116 loss to the Maine Celtics.
  • Brooklyn recalled Saraf, Nolan Traore and Danny Wolf from Long Island, with Traore and Wolf called up and available Tuesday against the Celtics at Barclays Center.
  • The 19-year-old opened the season as Brooklyn’s starting point guard but struggled, averaging 3.2 points on 21.7% shooting and later falling out of the rotation.
  • In the G League he posted stronger production, including a 20-point off-the-bench debut and averages around 14 points, as coaches cite his work ethic and long-term upside.
