What happened
Mikel Brown Jr. is expected to debut Wednesday against Charlotte after missing three preseason games with a rolled left ankle and logging 18 minutes in Miami.
Coach Jordi Fernández has said he may avoid starting anyone projected for fewer than 24 minutes, and he would not say whether Brown's limit changes Wednesday.
LINEUP CONTEXT
If Brown stays capped, Brooklyn may lean more on Egor Dëmin or other guards for ballhandling, but the opener rotation is still unsettled.
