Nets Say Brooks Has A Broken Toe; No Timetable Set for Return
by Net Income on Jan 30, 2012 12:27 PM EST
Email
PrintThe Nets have announced via Twitter that MarShon Brooks has "a broken little toe on his right foot. No timetable for his return". Brooks will see a foot specialist later Monday.
Brooks tweeted "sigh" shortly the news was announced. He arrived at practice Monday morning with swelling in his toe. He was given an x-ray which revealed the fracture. Avery Johnson said there's no indication when Brooks broke his toe, that in fact it could have been several games back.
DeShawn Stevenson had his right knee drained on Monday. He has already said that he'll miss Tuesday's game in Indiana, and his status for Wednesday's home game against Detroit is up in the air.
Meanwhile, Johnson said that he doesn't expect Brook Lopez to return anytime soon. "He's not close. Not close. First of all, he has to start running..." Fred Kerber reported early Monday that his return may have to wait until after the All-Star Game, which is February 26. Deron Williams joked that Johnson, a New Orleans native, was practicing "voodoo" on the team.

Something's up
Brooks favored his foot last night(thought some mistake it for swag). How does he go from strained Achilles to broken toe? SMH.

Being included in the Howard trade

This wouldn't effect the Howard trade.
If they were already demanding MarShon, a broken little toe is not effecting their decision on a player they envision being a 10 year starter.

Yes it would because they have to sell these players to their fans
injured players aren’t an option if they make a trade.

or injury-prone players more specifically, not a risk Smith can take
his job is already in a tenuous position

in the 3rd quarter
it looked like he limped. I thought at the moment it must have been his achilles. I’m now assuming that might be the time he broke the toe.

There are different possibilities depending
on the type of break. But one thing we do know is from what Avery said he is too valuable to the team, so they are going err on the side of caution. Achilles injury will be factored in here too. I’d say a month imo but who knows

how is a broken little toe any different from "fractured 5th metatarsel"
this is the same injury Lopez had and James has been haunted by
seriously this team is going to be unbearable to watch, also nothing makes a trade package more attractive than your two main pieces in Lopez and Brooks recovering from the same damn injury
this franchise is cursed, i give up

the other is the toe. Toe is much better and little toe is the best.

not true
breaking a little toe can take significantly longer to heal. least amount of blood circulation and furthest bone (vein-wise) from the heart.
its just easier to cope with a broken little toe during the healing process since you can manage walking without bearing weight on it. the potential to do further damage to a broken little toe is less than that of a big toe for example, as well.
to say one is better is faulty. many variables to consider.
wait what lol
broken toe doesn’t require screws in it.

stop it with that ish
seriously. injuries were going to happen to every team this year based on the schedule and the lack of preparation.
And as for the Nets season, I actually go into most games now cautiously optimistic that the team will hustle and try to win it. At least for the past couple weeks they’ve played harder.
This season I see a team that’s starting to grow together as opposed to one that looked so dysfunctional over the past few seasons. When we have looked dysfunctional this year, it was earlier on in the season and also has to do with the talent level.
I’m not ready to think about this season as being a failure.

For a little toe, there really isn't
It’ll heal on it’s own, and it probably won’t even heal straight, but it doesn’t matter. They don’t set or splint a little toe. For now, it’ll be painful & uncomfortable, but you deal with it.
I think so too
I think I’ve broken my little toe a couple times just by stubbing it on things, but it was never anything to have put in a splint.
by Jack Handy Jr on Jan 30, 2012 2:11 PM EST up reply actions
Between stubbing it on furniture & soccer
I’ve broken my little toe many times to the point where it’s practically sideways. As long as the swelling and discomfort doesn’t affect him, he can play. Chances are, his minutes would have to be limited until the swelling passes, but it’s not something he should miss a lot of time over.
You wrap it up. That's why we have a medical staff

Deal with IT.
the injury is slowly moving out of his body...
first it was a sore leg, then a sore achilles, then a foot injury, now its a broken little toe.
soon it will be a hang-nail, then an un-tied shoe lace… then he won’t be able to find his shoe, then the Nets will trade for Dwight Howard (not including MarShon) then he will be healthy.

You can't label a guy injury prone
when his numerous injuries have come in a shortened season where teams are playing back-to-back and back-to-back-to-back games. The players get one maybe two days of rest in a week. If someone isn’t getting hurt its amazing.

At least D-will is on-board now, or at least faking a smile.
I can take all the injury news but I couldn’t take the pouting and complaining. The rest of the team is on shaky ground but I still think D-will has turned a corner.
this is disheartening
i mean not the end of the world, hopefully it’s a pinky toe but you’re talking 4 weeks minimum for recovery.
one thing after another, this franchise and injuries has been rough. i know every team has their injuries but ours is seriously hampering our ability for success. we don’t have a deep team and any injury is going to hurt us. no brooks and no stevenson and no okur (and no lopez) for indiana, we’re not going to be very competitive in that game unless hump, morrow, farmar (oh god i typed that didn’t I) and dwill have good games.

Our main scorers will have to be morrow, farmar, dwill and hump. Even if all 4 score 20 points that’s only putting up 80 in a game.
We’re going to need points from shawne williams, gaines, shelden williams as well.

Dream scenario if the Dwight thing doesn't work..
-We get a top 3 pick and draft Davis, MKG, or Drummond,
-Rockets make the playoffs and we use the pick on Austin Rivers/Mcadoo. Terrence Jones, etc…. players that would have been top 10 in any other normal draft.
- Dwill resigns.
Not SO bad. but still we need Supaman.
Official member of the "DO NOT TRADE MARSHON "SWAG" BROOKS" Society!
The problem with that scenario: the Nets are 7-13, not one of the worst teams in the NBA. I don’t think we get a Top 3 pick any way you slice it.
And Deron leaves if we don’t get Dwight Howard. We’ll have one lottery pick and one Top 20 but that’s not saying much for a rebuilding effort.
well with brooks out brook not coming back anytime soon okur stevenson down
owens and she will starting that top 5 pick seems realistic

If brook comes back healthy his value is higher because he is restricted.
He could be used as an asset for them to get another piece down the line. Plus they would get nice pics from us as well as cap relief. The magic saw what Bynum n gasol did against them WITH kobe. They wouldnt be too hot without him.
Might as well instead trade for a younger promising center with less injury history, cap flexibility, and the potential for a future SOLID building block out of the draft. I think it will become more and more apparent to the magic that this is the route to go. Especially so if howard lets it be known that he wants to be a Net

Second trade
Nets send Brook Lopez + MarShon Brooks + Kris Humphries + Jordan Farmar + 2012 First round pick + future pick for Dwight Howard

Orlando gets a bunch of good players PLUS picks ala Denver

This is HORRIBLE
All this DWIGHT AT ALL COSTS STUFF IS A BIT MUCH. We have alot of good assets. Marshon is a smooth looking young player. Brook Lopez is a top center. 2 first rounders in a deep stacked draft. Lots of cap space. That’s alot of good building blocks.
If Dwill and Dwight have learned anything in the super team era it should be you need to make moves to help your NEW team not put them in bad positions.
It’s a short season. Dwill needs to shut up and play and so does DWIGHT. Get the season over with. If we don’t make the playlets we get a high pick. We are not winning a chip this year so it doesn’t matter. Better pick is a better player.

I actually didn't think the crowd as that bad yesterday
there were many points where the crowd was ready to get loud and the Nets couldn’t get a stop or a momentum play to save their lives. I believe the attendance was 14,000+ for the freakin’ Raptors.

there is still 7 weeks before the deadline. I’m sure Billy knows the Magic will not deal him before the break. They just need some time to show Lopez is healthy when he gets back. I can’t see Brooks being out for more than 2 weeks. Usually they just tape the pinky toe with the others. He may be back before that. It’s an injury that can’t get worse unless it sets wrong when it fuses.

Don’t forget the Nets were also worried about his achilles and were going to be very cautious with his minutes. This is just another way to shut him down for a couple of weeks and make sure the achilles and the toe are healed. Why be overzealous with one of your key building blocks (actually 2 of the 3 – Brook, Brooks, DWill) in a season where you probably won’t make the playoffs and you benefit from a stronger draft pick (either for the Nets or in trade talks). Also – it helps the Nets Front Office hammer home the point of depth to DWill (Dwight).

That Howard and Stephen Jackson were talking about coming to the Nets. I do remember Jackson commenting that he’d love to come back to the Nets at some point this season if someone would love to help me out.
Don’t know how Jackson could become a Net through a trade, however. Would have to be very complicated.
where did he say this?
it’s not off-topic. it’s a whole NEW topic!
Nets let Jackson go. Two years later, he helped deny them a ring.

You might be able to do Brooks and Okur for Stephen Jackson, than you wait for Dwight to come over via free agency.
Wouldn't have the cap to sign him.
Actually something centered around Petro and Farmar… I mean Stephen Jackson has basically negative trade value, he’s an awful albatross.
And this is why you have to be careful about allowing players to play GM.

I don't think you guys get it, Jackson is puke covered in deuce.
His contract is huge, he would be a vet min guy if he were a FA.
He’s 34.
He is a complete negative value contract.
Just to be able to break him down into 2 small contracts, one likely to be an expiring when he opts out this season is big for them.

What did the Nets organization and the fans that support them do
to deserve this kind of luck. Absolutely devastating news. Yes, the injury isn’t as bad as BLo, but it’s his second injury in a weeks time and is looking to be injury prone to potential trade partners. Now our 2 valuable trade chips are on the shelf with no timetable in site. Unbelievable. A panic move is going to probably be made, but for whom and with what is the question.

Honestly, I wouldn't doubt he would be playing if it wasn't for the Achilles.

This is what our depth chart looks like now...
DWill, Farmar (pg/sg) / Gaines
Morrow
Owens
Hump, Shawne (sf/pf) / JWill
Shelden, Petro
out: Brooks, Okur, Stevenson
out until late Feb, early March?: Lopez
out for season: James
injury concern Shawne ‘needs surgery’
Petro strong and ready
Go Nets.
Or what’s left of the team.
Jackson tweeted me this 2 weeks ago

@ @ItBegins2012 ditto bro. Love jersey. Steph did alot for me
No way Stephen Jackson can come here
unless Bucks want petro and Farmar.

Exactly
Even if Dwight is here, I think SJax will fail like Jamison failed in CLE w/ LeBron. No Thanks.
I disagree
SJax spreads the floor like Morrow. Question is overall who is better or do you need both players?
SJax is better all around but it is hard to give up on a young 3pt sharp shooter.

Like Morrow?
Nah, dude is an OK shooter, nothing more, he’s a chucker and takes a ton of 3’s so people never really realize how average he is until they check the stats.

he's an aged trevor ariza with iso skills
but i’d definitely swap farmar and petro for him or Kaman
he mainly wants an extension but i dont know who’s giving it to him. i just want another vet presence on the team. look at how Chauncey somewhat seamlessly assimilated with the Clippers and has kept them chugging despite CP3 being hurt and Mo being a hothead when not hurt

Believe it or not
Even Petro has a higher PER than SJax this season. Basically, Farmar & Petro would probably be my offer too IF I really had to make that trade.
Dont think they would want another pg, maybe Okur for him straight up since Jackson has another year
But the problem is
we need Okur contract to sign Dwight.
We need to get ride of either Farmar or Petro’s contract to get another $10 mil player.
THE NBA
Where YOU DONT KNOW WHAT Happens
Farmar is good value right now
Based on the season he’s having. Bucks don’t have some great PG rotation so I don’t know why you think that they can’t use Farmar. They could also use another C, even if its Petro.
Farmar has also shown he can play the 2
So he has more value than Net fans think.

I will let the elders shed some light!!!
D-Will scenario is a joke, obviously.
My question is how will this affect any potential D12 deals as far as cap goes, and they flexibility as they move along!
HE'S INJURY PRONE
TRADE HIM FOR DWIGHT!
Nets Mets Giants All day Every day.
Beware the Lopez
NY Giants Tribute
I know you're joking, but many of us may have had such minor fractures and not even known about, other than the initial swelling.
If it was his Big toe, then certainly it would be more painful to jump.
I've never gone to the doctor for any injuries yet lol
im pretty sure i sprained my ankle once or twice tho
Nets Mets Giants All day Every day.
Beware the Lopez
NY Giants Tribute
Once the swelling goes down, if this was Kobe, instead of Kobe-lite (MarShon) he wouldn't miss any additional games.
There is no comparison of this fracture with that of Brook Lopez, who required surgery and had a screw inserted.
If the fracture isn’t displaced (not likely), then I doubt Surgery would be required – just wrap it up, once the swelling goes down.
As the article says, its possible it was already fractured, and it was just aggravated last night.
Since Marshon already has a left foot injury, I’m sure they will be conservative and give him a few games off to recover from the tendinitis at the same time.
I believe the pinky toe is the least needed to jump. MarShon should be the one to decide if he can play, not Avery.
I would not question Swags toughness just yet!!!
Kobe (real) makes calls and tell ppl when he plays and when he doesn’t.
Swag is here to listen, and cant’ even say a work without raising his hand first. If he’s told you go get donuts and then take a ride on NJ Transit (just because), he will do as h’s told.
I thought his name is Rookie?
Lets hope the specialist tells him nothing needed to be done, once the swelling goes down.
Ok ... let me rephrase it.
AJ: Rookie come here …“when I say jump, you say how high!” got that rookie.
Rookie: “Yes sir”
AJ: Now go get us some dawwnuts and make sure Darreeen gets to pick first.
Rookie: “Yes sir”
i think marshon has a bit of Melo in him
And not the good kind. The ball movement stops when it gets to marshon. Farmar is right to get annoyed. I don’t think this hurts as much as far as that goes, but it does suck

I am ok with this
I would rather pay MarShon $1 mil right now then be pay Melo $18.5.
Please Farmar needs to stop thinking and pass the ball. He isnt a pg. He has SSS (Simulate SG Syndrome) like all the other PGs on this team.

He is closer to Melo than Kobe, true

And I'm fine with that. One of the original leaders of the "Dwight Howard, not Nono Hilario" movement.

The kid is a known score first guy…but can we let him develop first before making any comparisons? Kobe used to take some ill-advised shots in his rookie campaign too if I remember.
Are you suggesting that he is a MarshMelo????
by jerry25 on Jan 30, 2012 3:35 PM EST up reply actions 6 recs
This is bad for the team on the court but
if you’re talking about including Marshon in a Dwight trade, imo this is actually good because, let’s face it, Marshon wasn’t going to look any better this season than he already has. So, in effect, he has already been showcased. In fact, his play was starting to regress back to the mean in the past few games, so…
but again this is bad for Nets basketball on the court.

Working through an injury does not mean he has regressed.
We haven’t seen the best of Brooks yet. His passing was improving before he got hurt.
by LOVEandHATEHOOPS on Jan 30, 2012 3:13 PM EST up reply actions
DISAGREE Completely
His game was NOT regressing to any “mean”
He came back to early from an injury and created another one and had one mediocre game.
(And still looked better than most of the clowns we put in uniform)
Well...
we’re 5-14 with MarShon
2-0 without him
TRADE MARSHON

Jarrod N Rudolph @MisterRudolph Word is Otis Smith has been trying to make moves, but he’s struggled to find a trade partner. Not sure what can be done at this point.
I'm sure Billy King would be glad to be his trade partner
Nets Mets Giants All day Every day.
Beware the Lopez
NY Giants Tribute
He had a chance get Lopez+Wallace for Howard before the season. Now Wallace's pricetag has gone up.
That failure may be a franchise dooming loss for the Nets.
are we on the same page?
I think the Randolph tweet is to suggest Otis has been trying to make moves to satisfy Dwight.
I don't take it seriously that Otis can improve team to the point of getting Howard to stay.
Howard is already dreaming about Brooklyn.
Unfortunately, Lopez’ injury could screw up the plan.
LOL
Otis are you serious? You looking for more bad contracts by offering worse contracts.
Just trade Dwight to us already. I am pretty sure BKing will give you some draft picks and we keep still keep Lopez and MarShon.
THE NBA
Where YOU DONT KNOW WHAT Happens
Otis to Dwight:
“So you asked for Nets, well I got you Nets…I just traded for VC and Kidd! I gave up Glen Davis and Ryan Anderson. I think we have enough now to sign KMart when he’s eligible to return. Sooooo, will you stay? I can get Keith Van Horn’s agent on the phone if we have to.”
We are tanking guy's .
Which explain’s many injuries and such
"I don't want to be a part of a rebuilding effort"
I think that’s how Deron put it.
I can see some friction occurring between Avery and Billy King, if Brook and Brooks aren't playing sooner than Avery's conservatiive timetable.
How can Avery predict now that Lopez wouldn’t be ready until after the All Star break?
As long as there is no risk to re-injure his foot, I wouldn’t care if Brook is in 100% game shape in another 2 weeks. He’s got to be showcased and he can then be in 100% form after the All Star break when ORL makes its decision.
Actually, what the hell am I talking about.
All we are doing is catching “breaks.”
I think it's fine.

That's sad to hear for marshon...He didn't seem the same last night.....
I sure hope that he gets to play in the rookie / sophmore game……
No fair man ...fans usually pull for their team in hope of championships.
Nets fans get exited for 2 game winning streak. I was jumping all over the place when we beat the Cavs.
I wonder what would we do if we indeed get D12 here, and actually become contenders !!!
this is crazy
i get home and I read that brooks broke his toe…I don’t even react.
