EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Sinabi ni general manager Billy King na dismayado ang Brooklyn Nets sa pagkaka-injury uli ni Brook Lopez ngunit hindi sila nagpa-panic.
Nabalian uli sa kaliwang paa si Lopez kaya mawawalan ang Nets (9-17) ng leading scorer. Sinabi ni King na titingin-tingin siya kung may magandang trade na makikita ngunit kumpiyansa naman siya sa mga naiwang players.
“When you get an injury like this, everybody calls you. Every agent that has a big guy on the sideline calls to offer their services,’’ sabi ni King.
“But we had been in discussions with a lot of teams up to this point. There’s not an imminent move, we’re not looking to make any imminent move trade-wise. We’ve got 14 other guys that can step up, but we’ll continue to discuss possibilities if it can make our team better.’’
Na-fracture ni Lopez ang fifth metatarsal bone sa kanang paa na siya ring na-injury noong preseason game bago nagbukas ang 2011-12 season.
