Powell told The Post that he tweaked his knee during the lead-up to the draft, and the Nets say the injury — which they described as tendinopathy — will preclude him from playing alongside the Nets’ other four first-round picks during summer league action beginning later this week in Las Vegas.

The day will have to wait, though. The Nets announced that Powell, the 6’6” wing who wowed pundits and front office staffs alike in the Draft Combine, will be in Las Vegas for Summer League but he won’t play. He’s recovering from knee tendinopathy which the Nets described as a minor issue.
