MarShon Brooks sprains left ankle, is out vs. Magic

The Nets have a serious problem with left ankles. MarShon Brooks became the third Net in this young season to sprain his left ankle, turning it at shootaround in Orlando on Friday morning.

"It was a freak accident this morning," Avery Johnson. We were going through some pick&roll coverages & he stepped on Blatche's foot."

Brooks is out for Friday night's game against the Magic. The good news is that Josh Childress, one of the other left-ankle guys, is healthy enough to play.

Brooks will join Gerald Wallace on the inactive list.
