Jamal Crawford departs against Bucks early due to injury

Jamal Crawford made an impact when he took the floor for the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday, but had to leave the game very quickly due to injury.

Jamal Crawford finally made his Brooklyn Nets debut on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Unfortunately for the veteran guard, his day ended almost as quickly as it started.

As he entered the game at the 4:35 mark in the first quarter, Crawford set a franchise record for oldest Nets player to ever appear in a game. At 40 years and 137 days, the veteran guard surpassed Cliff Robinson (40 yrs, 121 days on April 16, 2007, against the New York Knicks).

Crawford checked into the game late in the fourth quarter and gave Brooklyn an instant boost. In just five minutes of action, he logged three assists and scored five points on 2 of 4 shooting (1-for-2 from 3-point territory).

But after only five minutes of action, Crawford had to leave the game early.

Soon after the veteran guard’s departure, Crawford was ruled out for the remainder of the contest by the Nets due to a left hamstring injury.
