Analysis:

Lopez's return to practice in a non-contact capacity comes two days before the Nets' regular season opener. At the moment, it's unclear whether Lopez will be available for that game, but even if he isn't, Lopez should be full-go in the near future. As a result, his status should be monitored throughout the coming days.
