Report: Brook Lopez nears Brooklyn Nets exit as he rejects contract

The Brooklyn Nets face losing Brook Lopez, as rejects the player option in his contract.

Brooklyn Nets centre Brook Lopez will hit the free agents market this summer, according to reports.

The 27-year-old joined the Nets in 2008, and was named an NBA All-Star in 2013. His contract has run out, but he has the player option of extending it by a further year.

However, ESPN reports that Lopez has turned down the option, which would have earned him over £10.6m, and he is now set to leave the club.

The former Stanford star averaged 17.2 points in 72 games last season.
