Just what the New Jersey Nets needed. After having a training room that resembled TV's "E.R." last season, the Nets were hoping their injury-riddled days were behind them.

But before halftime of the Nets/Pistons game last night, the New York Post reports that second round pick Brian Scalabrine broke a bone in his right foot and will miss 2 to 3 months. Scalabrine had been out with a stress reaction in the same area of the foot.

The Nets will likely sign a replacement for Scalabrine before the regular season opener Tuesday against the Indiana Pacers. Team President Rod Thorn said recently-waived forwards Donny Marshall and Steve Goodrich are possibilities, as well as Omar Cook, recently cut by the Nuggets.
