Marc Spears from Yahoo! is on a roll with the Nets news today. He just tweeted some not-so-good news about our new friend Donté Greene.
NBA free agent Donte Greene suffered an ankle fracture while working out in Charlotte last Saturday, his agent Chris Luchey tells Y! Sports.

We’ll update now as this story develops. I for one am bummed if it means Donte’ isn’t going to sign here. He may not be the most dominant guy in the league, but bringing a 6-11, athletic small forward off the bench would have been a fun development this season.
For more background on the Nets’ possible small-forward-to-be, you can check out my Meet Donté Greene post here.
