Brooklyn Nets center Brook Lopez left Saturday night's 94-86 loss inMilwaukeewith a sore right foot. X-rays were negative, according to the team.



Lopez will not require further testing on his foot, a source confirmed.



Lopez has undergone three surgeries on his right foot in an 18-month span. Last season, he suffered a right mid-foot sprain that caused him to miss the first two games of the 2014-15 campaign.



Lopez played 39 minutes on Friday night, then played 29 minutes on Saturday before checking out of the game with 40 seconds left in the third quarter. He appeared frustrated on the bench before heading to the locker room. He finished with 20 points.



Nets general manager Billy King had said there would be no minutes restrictions on Lopez before the start of the season.



Lopez, 27, re-signed with the Nets over the summer for three years, $63.4 million.



Brooklyn has an 0-7 record and owes its unprotected 2016 first-round pick to the Boston Celtics.
