There’s no sugar-coating this: losing Lopez is a massive blow to the Nets, who opened the season with aspirations of competing for a title and instead they currently find themselves stuck outside the playoff picture in the weak Eastern Conference. Lopez was averaging a team-high 20.7 points, six rebounds and two blocks per game this season, and he ranked No. 7 overall in the NBA in Player Efficiency Rating (PER) while playing among Brooklyn’s top plus-minus performers.

Further analysis is in the article, but suffice to say, the Brooklyn Nets have no real hope without Lopez.  There are some details of his contract in the article as well, and a good chunk of the Nets' cash is tied up with Brook.

It's apparently the same bone Brook has broken in the past...usually not a good sign.
