Nets Sign DeShawn Stevenson http://tinyurl.com/7reytwq The Nets announced Friday afternoon that they have signed guard DeShawn Stevenson. The deal is reportedly for one year and the team's $2.5 million "room" exception, putting the team over the salary cap. "DeShawn is a veteran NBA player who brings a championship pedigree to our roster," Billy King said in the Nets' statement announcing the deal. "He is a tough defender who can stretch the floor, and will bolster our backcourt rotation." Stevenson is 30 years old and entering his 12th NBA season. Including the playoffs, he started 72 games for the Mavs last year. The addition puts the Nets' roster at 16. They will need to waive one player (Dennis Horner or Ime Udoka) by Saturday evening. Lopez Has Surgery, Expected To Return In 6-8 Weeks http://tinyurl.com/7dometr The Nets have announced that Brook Lopez had surgery at the Hospital for Special Surgery on Friday morning. The procedure was performed by foot specialist Dr. Martin O'Malley, who inserted a screw into Lopez's right foot to "speed up the healing process." Lopez's rehab will begin in two weeks and the Nets say he's "expected to return to game action in 6-8 weeks." Six weeks from Friday is Feb. 3, at which point the Nets will have played 23 of their 66 games. Eight weeks from Friday is Feb. 17, at which point the Nets will have played 31 games. The trade deadline is March 15. --
