Brook Lopez Has a Sprained Ankle

It’s as though the universe is conspiring against the Nets these days, who are four losses away from tying one of the most dubious NBA records: “Like Lawrence Frank, whose winless Nets are only four defeats shy of tying the record for the worst start in NBA history, Brook Lopez is also now day-to-day. As if they haven’t had enough injuries during their 0-13 start, the Nets could be without their starting center Tuesday night in Denver when they start a critical four-game trip out West. Lopez sprained his right ankle in practice Monday before the team flew to Denver, accompanied by a cloud of doubt hanging over Frank’s future. ‘I don’t think it’s anything serious,’ said Lopez, the team’s second-leading scorer and only member of its starting five to make all 13 starts. ‘Trust me, watching films hurt a lot more.”‘

    Wow that is SO unlucky (to go along with the winless season thus far). Brook Lopez was going to be a beast this season.

    I clicked the link for most dubious record but it didn’t show who had the worst start. Anyone know who has that record?

    niQ: I actually think a previous Nets team had it with 0-19. But don’t quote me, I didn’t look that up, just reciting what I remember watching a game.

    Folks: both the Heat and the Clippers had 0-17 starts

    Brook is kinda funny.

    Boo. Do I keep him in for fantasy or no?

    @clark.. that’s what i’m wondering too.. looks to be a game time decision..

    Clark:Why would it hurt you if you didn’t?

    i thought the sixers went 0-19 before? i can see the storyline already.. lebron will go to the nets and have one of the best turnarounds in nba history next year.
