New Jersey Nets center Brook Lopez will be sidelined for two more weeks before the team re-evaluates his injured ankle.

Lopez has been sidelined since suffering a sprained right ankle on March 4.

It is the same foot in which Lopez suffered a fractured fifth metatarsal, forcing him to miss the season’s first 33 games.

The 7-foot Lopez has appeared in only five games, averaging 19.2 points and 3.6 points.

He had been linked to trade rumors involving Orlando’s Dwight Howard before suffering each injury.
