"The injury-ravaged Nets received more bad news yesterday when they learned rookie guard MarShon Brooks will be out for an undetermined amount of time with a fracture in his right pinky toe.

Brooks arrived at yesterday's practice with "some pretty significant swelling," according to coach Avery Johnson before an X-ray revealed the injury. Brooks visited a foot specialist later in the day.

Brooks, the team's second-leading scorer, returned to play 22 minutes in Sunday night's loss to the Raptors after missing three games with a sore left Achilles tendon, but Johnson said the injury was unrelated to Brooks' previous affliction."
