NBA -- Nets center cleared to play


PhilBoxing.com



Lopez.
CHICAGO -- After an injury-plagued 2013-14 season that cost him to miss 65 regular season games and the entire postseason, Brooklyn Nets center Brook Lopez is ready dive back into action.

"I was fully cleared to play and everything about week and a half ago," the 7-foot, 275-pound pivot told ESPN new York while vacationing in Russia with his twin brother Robin, the 7-foot center of the Portland Trail Blazers.

A six-year NBA veteran, Lopez had one of his more productive seasons ever, turning in 20.7 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game. But he had three procedures done since January 2014, one to "repair the fractured fifth metatarsal in his right foot" and the other to "repair torn tendon and tighten lateral ligaments in his left ankle." Another procedure was performed wherein his foot was repositioned "to unload and protect the injured area." (Homer D. Sayson)
