Brook Lopez is out for the remainder of the season, but general manager Billy King says the Brooklyn Nets plan to replace the All-Star center internally -- at least for now.
Lopez again fractured the fifth metatarsal of his surgically repaired right foot late in the fourth quarter of Friday night's 121-120 overtime loss to the Philadelphia 76ers when he was fouled from behind by forward Thaddeus Young and fell to the floor.
"If there's a deal out there that we feel is going to make us a better team, we'll do it regardless of tax or the future, but we're not going to panic and do a move just to make a move because we feel we have to," King said Sunday. "I still believe in this group. Brook's a big part of it, but we do have other guys, that's why we have depth."
