CHARLOTTE, Nov. 4 -- Still recovering from offseason surgery on his right foot, forward Kwame Brown sprained his left ankle during the morning shootaround Thursday. The ankle was swollen and covered in a heat wrap in the locker room before the game against Charlotte, but Brown said he doesn't expect the injury to keep him from returning before the end of November.
"I should've slowed down," Brown said. "That's how it is when they let you out there for the first time. You're trying to go harder than you're supposed to."
Brown was participating in half-speed, five-on-five drills for the first time when he said he was trying to do a move in the post and landed the foot of teammate Larry Hughes. Coach Eddie Jordan didn't sound too concerned. "I think he's all right," Jordan said. "He's trying to push himself to be involved."
In the meantime, Brown, who just began running last week, said he will slow it down.
"I just ain't going out there no more," Brown said. . . .
