    Brown, Powell both injured at NBA camp

    Illinois guard Dee Brown broke his right foot at an NBA camp and might withdraw from the June 28 draft. He is expected to be sidelined six to eight weeks.

    Illini teammate Roger Powell also was injured at the predraft camp Wednesday at Moody Bible Institute, spraining his right ankle and leaving on crutches.

    Brown told assistant coach Jay Price and trainer Al Martindale on Wednesday night he had broken his right foot, Illinois sports information director Kent Brown said Thursday. Martindale was waiting details from trainers at the camp, Brown said.

    Brown declared for the NBA draft last month but did not hire an agent, leaving open the possibility of returning to Illinois for his senior year.

    "What we're telling Dee is that the most important thing now is for him to get healthy," Price told The (Champaign) News-Gazette. "Whether he comes back or not is still his decision, and he has enough people around him advising him that he can make that decision."

    Illinois coach Bruce Weber was vacationing in Mexico on Thursday and was not available to comment.
