Brook Lopez: (Foot) Probable For Opener
Coach Lionel Hollins said Friday that he believes Lopez (foot) will be ready for the start of the season, Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis:
He will still need to be cleared by doctors, but Hollins said Lopez won't necessarily need to practice between now and the start of the regular season in order to take the floor. This is a positive development after Lopez sustained a sprained foot, but he still remains a health risk, given his medical history.
