Posted Nov 3, 2025
Drake Powell’s bad injury luck continued Sunday. The Brooklyn Nets rookie, who missed the preseason with knee tendinopathy, has suffered ankle injuries in both NBA games he’s played this season, showing flashes of why he was a first-round draft pick each game. For Milwaukee, Cole Anthony scored 16 in the Bucks’ win over the Warriors last week. (Tar Heel Tribune)
