Although the Brooklyn Nets went into the Disney bubble without a lot of their key players, there were multiple reasons for fans to stick close to their team and enjoy the ride.
Among those reasons was the chance to watch the 40-year-old substitute player Brooklyn signed, who had to prove he can provide an NBA team with more than just a veteran voice. But, unfortunately, Jamal Crawford’s run with the Nets ended as quickly as it started thanks to a left hamstring strain.
Yet he still has every intention of continuing his NBA career beyond 2019-20.
According to Marc Stein of The New York Times, Crawford, “hopes to play again next season at age 41.”
Before his one game in the bubble on August 4 — during which, Crawford scored five points and dished out three assists in just under six minutes of action — the vet had not played in an NBA game since April of 2019.
