Allen Crabbe: Ruled out for preseason opener

Crabbe is dealing with a sprained ankle and was seen wearing a walking boot just
a few days ago, so it comes as no surprise the Nets will take a cautious
approach and hold Crabbe out Tuesday. That said, he’s since shed his boot and
isn’t likely to miss extended action, so a return is possible for Thursday’s
exhibition matchup with the Heat. With Caris LeVert also out, DeMarre carroll
and Joe Harris will likely be the top two options at small forward.
