New Jersey Nets center Brook Lopez finally made his season debut on Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks.
The 7-foot Lopez played 22 minutes and scored nine points while grabbing two rebounds.
He had been sidelined since fracturing the fifth metatarsal in his right foot on Dec. 21 in the Nets' final preseason game against the New York Knicks and underwent surgery two days later.
The 23-year-old Lopez led the Nets in scoring last season, averaging 20.4 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.5 blocks.
