After missing the team’s Friday practice, Brook Lopez will not play Saturday night against the Detroit Pistons as he continues to rest his right midfoot sprain.
“He just has pain,” coach Lionel Hollins said. “He was having pain before and looked like he was going better, but now he can’t. It’s not my call of when he does practice or when he doesn’t, so when (the trainers) say he’s not going today, okay.”
There is currently no timetable for Lopez’s return, and it’s the first time Lopez did not do non-contact drills since returning to non-contact following the team’s open practice on Sunday, October 26th.
“I was optimistic every day, (but) when he doesn’t come out and practice, I’m not optimistic any more,” Hollins added.
