After playing just 17 games last season due to a fractured fifth metatarsal in his right foot, Brook Lopez has been cleared to play according to Mike Mazzeo of ESPN NY.
“I was fully cleared for play and everything about a week and a half ago now,” said Lopez, who is visiting the country with his twin brother, Portland Trail Blazers center Robin Lopez. “… Now it’s time to get back in shape.”
It’s unknown how the Nets will handle Lopez this coming season given his history of foot problems. If he is healthy, Lopez can be a dominant offensive weapon in the low post.
No doubt that Brook Lopez is an offensive force. It was a shame to lose him so early in the season. But hopefully his feet aren’t a problem and he can help the Nets excel.
