Brown, who has been dealing with a left oblique strain for almost a week, will miss the remainder of the Nets' preseason schedule.

Analysis:

Originally, Brown's oblique injury wasn't expected to threaten his availability for the start of the regular season, but his recovery timetable now remains somewhat in flux. Upon Brown's eventual return to the court, he'll battle for minutes behind fellow guards Jarrett Jack and Shane Larkin as the regular season gets underway.
