Brook Lopez has third surgery on right foot Brook Lopez’s fragile right foot has suffered another setback. A postseason physical uncovered the screw in Lopez’s surgically-repaired foot had bent and needed to be replaced, the Nets announced Monday. Lopez, who twice fractured that foot during the 2011-12 season, will resume “basketball-related activities” in August, although the Nets did not reveal when the latest surgery took place. The Nets begin training camp in October. It’s an alarming developing considering the history. This is the third time in less than two years that Lopez had surgery on his right foot. He first fractured his fifth metatarsal bone in December of 2011, and re-fractured the foot just five games after returning – sabotaging his lockout-shortened season. Nets GM Billy King will address the media this afternoon.
