Jeff McInnis strained his back in practice on Saturday night and the injury flared up on him overnight to the point where the guard visited the hospital yesterday morning. McInnis, who suffered the injury when he tried to fight through a screen, couldn't walk in the morning but Lawrence Frank said he was later released from the hospital.
McInnis, the Nets' key offseason acquisition, is expected to come off the bench and play both guard positions this season.

"We will know more about it and see how he does," Frank said. "It's a muscle strain and that is it."
