Brooklyn Nets center Brook Lopez has been diagnosed with a fractured fifth metatarsal of the right foot, Nets General Manager Billy King announced today. The injury occurred during last night's game against Philadelphia. The Nets will issue a further update next week after consultation with their team physicians.
Lopez previously fractured the same bone during the 2011-12 season and underwent surgery following the 2012-13 season to replace a bent screw in the foot.
Lopez has played in 17 games this season, averaging a team-high 20.7 points along with 6.0 rebounds and 1.76 blocks per game.

This is very tough news for the Brooklyn Nets. Lopez has been someone they could count on and now looks to be done for the season. Get well soon Brook!
