The Brooklyn Nets beat the Washington Wizards in double-overtime last night, but they had to do it without Kris Humphries.  Not long before the game, it was announced that Humphries would be out because of a sprained ankle suffered Wednesday night.

According to Mike Mazzeo of ESPN New York, Humphries was unable to go after suffering the ankle injury in the fourth quarter of the Nets' game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.


Humphries has averaged 7.2 points per game and 7.3 rebounds per game this season.  He has been a solid contributor to the Nets impressive season thus far.  Brooklyn has had its ups and downs this season, but overall they have been much more competitive than in years past.

Humphries is not expected to miss much time with the ankle injury, but he will continue to be evaluated over the weekend.  The Nets play next tomorrow against the Sacramento Kings.  Humphries has not yet been ruled out for that game and will likely be a game-time decision.
