Jamal Crawford is adored by hoops enthusiasts, and when he signed with the Brooklyn Nets ahead of the Orlando restart, he excited fans who enjoy watching his read-and-react, instinctual style of play.
Crawford hasn’t played for the Nets yet, as he’s still working on his conditioning. But on Sunday, Nets fans may have a chance to watch him.
According to the Nets’ Twitter account, Crawford is questionable for Brooklyn’s game against the Washington Wizards. Crawford did not play in the Nets’ game Friday against the Orlando Magic; he also did not play in any of Brooklyn’s three scrimmages.
Crawford hasn’t played in an NBA game since April 9, 2019, when he dropped 51 points for the Phoenix Suns against the Dallas Mavericks.

Crawford (conditioning) – QUESTIONABLE

As a three-time Sixth Man of the Year, Crawford basically has the NBA 2K microwave badge in real life. He has used his scoring skills to be a valuable player on NBA benches throughout his career. Crawford has scored 14.6 points per game, dished 3.4 assists and shot 41.0% from the field during his career.
The Nets’ game against the Wizards could be an intense one. The Nets dropped to the eighth seed after losing to Orlando, and the Wizards are six games behind Brooklyn. The Wizards need to be four or fewer games behind the eighth seed to force a play-in tournament.
