    Van Horn latest injury for Nets

    The New Jersey Nets cannot seem to get a break to go in their favor.

    The struggling franchise had its major injury woes with Jason Williams to deal with for the past few seasons, but the club elected to gamble by taking Kenyon Martin -- who broke his leg in college -- with the No. 1 overall pick.

    Well, Martin looks healthy -- but fellow forward Keith Van Horn is not. The Nets' star broke his left fibula in the second quarter of Tuesday night's game against the Orlando Magic.

    Early reports suggest Van Horn will be out 4-6 weeks. The club already is without forward Jamie Feick, who had surgery on the Achilles' tendon in his left leg on Monday and will miss at least the first month of the NBA season.

    I don't really know about these things, but 4-6 weeks makes it sound somewhere in the middle.

    Its a broken fibula. The fibula heals quickly.

    Nets are a jinx to big guys. Trade us Martin before he gets injured again.
