Brook Lopez (foot) gave his first quotes since his January 4 operation, and is optimistic about his return. "It's going to work, I'm definitely thinking that way." It's good to see the big man thinking positively, however this is the forth procedure he has had on his right foot in the past three years. The surgery Brook had is the same surgery that "saved Zydrunas Ilgauskas' career" so there's some hope that he can put his foot woes behind him. We'll be monitoring his comeback trail closely, and pass along updates as they become available.
