| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Feb. 01  | EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- Kenyon Martin is out with a broken right leg for the second time in a year, but New Jersey Nets officials said the fracture is not as serious as the one the NBA's top draft pick had in college. Martin sustained a non-displaced fracture of his right fibula midway through the third quarter of the Nets' 113-98 loss to Boston on Thursday night when Celtics guard Milt Palacio kneed Martin in his calf after the two got tangled. Martin tried to stay on the court, but the power forward eventually limped to the locker room. Nets spokesman John Mertz said the fracture is in a different area of the fibula -- the smaller of two bones in the lower leg -- than last year when Martin was hurt in the Conference USA tournament while playing for the University of Cincinnati. Mertz said Nets forward Keith Van Horn had a similar break in training camp. His injury did not require surgery and he returned after missing 32 games. Martin, who has played better as the season has progressed, was making a strong push for Rookie of the Year honors. He finished the season averaging 12 points and 7.4 rebounds in 68 games, all starts. He also had 113 blocks, 131 assists and 78 assists. ``We're so disappointed for Kenyon,'' Nets president Rod Thorn said. ``He is definitely the Rookie of the Year and proved it night in and night out. Kenyon will come back strong, you can be sure of that. The Nets are proud of his performance this year.'' The injury is the latest to strike the Nets this season. Kerry Kittles has missed the entire year after undergoing knee surgery. Forward Jamie Feick has missed 64 games with an Achilles' injury. Forward-guard Kendall Gill has missed 40 with tendinitis in his knee and center Jim McIlvaine has missed 35 with back and calf injuries. ``Everything happens for a reason, but I don't know what the reason is,'' All-Star guard Stephon Marbury said. ``I know we're not cursed like people say.'' Marbury then paused for a second. ``Maybe we are,'' he said. ``It's tough. It's tough with all those people going down.'' Martin had 22 points on 10-of-16 shooting in 28 minutes against the Celtics.  ~Matt/Froy from Jersey Official Protector of Gay Marco & SwampJunk...if he ever decides to post.
