GIF: Nets C Brook Lopez breaks right foot, could be out for the season
Brooklyn Nets center has reportedly broken his right foot and is expected to miss the rest of the season with the injury.
While Lopez played until the end of Friday night's game in overtime, it appears he may have first injured the foot midway through the fourth quarter. Lopez is fouled by Evan Turner and hits the floor with Thad Young, and you can see Lopez grab at his right foot on the ground.
