An adductor strain, basically a strained hip muscle, is a common sport injury and rehab can take from a few weeks to six weeks. Nets training camp opens September 26 which is seven weeks away.
The Nets forward hurt himself on a dunk attempt prior to the game which also featured Spencer Dinwiddie and Joe Tsai, the Nets new minority owner. NetsDaily first reported the injury. Here’s video of what happened...

He did not return to the floor and didn’t appear for the post-game photo. The Nets flew RHJ back to New York where he underwent tests.
