The Brooklyn Nets announced that Rondae Hollis-Jefferson would begin rehabilitation immediately following a left adductor strain.

Brooklyn Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson sustained an injury during Jeremy Lin’s “Hoop for Hope” charity game in Shenzhen, China, this weekend. On Wednesday, the team provided an update on his status via their Twitter account.

According to NetsDaily, rehab on an abductor strain “can take can take from a few weeks to six weeks.” Hollis-Jefferson and Lin were joined in the charity game by point guard Spencer Dinwiddie and new Nets minority owner Joe Tsai.

Hollis-Jefferson is coming off a breakout season in which he led the team in rebounding as a 6-foot-7 small forward. An injury like this, where he’d be likely back in time for the start of training camp is ideal.
