Early reports say Lopez out 4-6 weeks. Dr. F.D. Kharrazi of Kerlan-Jobe, who also works w/ Lakers, tells me 3-4 months for healing and rehab

At least I have a reason for not watching games this year.

brook makes you want to watch games over deron? lol

Bet the Magic are glad they didn't take that deal now.

Our number two scoring option is Anthony Morrow. He's great and all, but so one-dimensional.

This really makes the Stevenson signing useless.

maybe the hump can break out this year and make kim look like shit.

Maybe the Nets can just trade for Andrew Bynum since he's garbage and all.

He's still over-hyped trash.

The fact that you throw the word trash in there makes your comment so wrong.

Soon after the diagnosis of a stress fracture in Brook Lopez's right foot, which will require surgery on Friday, word began circulating of a recovery period that could be as short as four weeks. That timetable would put Lopez back on the court in plenty of time to showcase his health to the Magic.

But a medical expert guesses that due to his size, a 12-week timetable is more likely and says that estimate would actually be an "early" return.

"Biomechanics are such that with a bigger guy, the more pressure you put on it, the bone has to be more solid," said Dr. Victor Khabie, the chief of the department of surgery and sports medicine at Northern Westchester Hospital. "It may not make a difference in the healing, but it needs to be more fully healed before you let a 7-footer start jumping up and down on it."

"If I saw him as a patient, I would say: `Listen, hopefully, we'll get you back in three months.' I would say that would be a very optimistic type of call. This could be season-ending, potentially, seeing how short the (NBA) season is," said Dr. Khabie.

The Nets have a strong interest in getting Lopez back in action as soon as possible, since he will be a key part of any offer the Nets make to Orlando for Dwight Howard. Twelve weeks would put Lopez out until after the March 15 trade deadline.
