Kris Humphries wasn’t around to engage in the latest round of hostilities with the Celtics in yesterday’s 93-76 loss, as the Nets power forward remained sidelined by a late-breaking “mild” abdominal strain and continued his midseason fall from grace. Coach Avery Johnson said Humphries, who started the team’s first 18 games and 20 of the first 25 after re-signing a two-year deal worth $24 million in the offseason, will not make the trip to Milwaukee for tonight’s game against the Bucks, his third straight absence. Humphries then will be reevaluated. Humphries’ injury was not mentioned when he sat out Sunday’s home win over the 76ers, with Johnson calling it a “coach’s decision.” “He was healthy ... he is fine,” Johnson said Sunday. “He’s not in the doghouse. We just had to try something else, and we’ll see how long we can go with it.” New York Post

Kris Humphries was summoned into Avery Johnson's office before the Nets' 95-92 win over the 76ers Sunday, and the coach delivered some sobering news to his usual starting power forward. "He just said he was starting Gerald [Wallace] and it was going to be inconsistent for me for a while," Humphries said. "I really didn't know it was going to be a DNP, but you've got to be ready to handle anything in the NBA. "Anybody wants to start and play as much as possible, so you are obviously frustrated. But it's about more than one player." Newsday

With the Battle of the Boroughs, Part III, taking place this past week, it only seems fitting that "The Association" would follow Nets power forward and Manhattan resident Kris Humphries around as he seeks support within New York Knicks' "territory." Hump also talks about the ups and downs of the season, and what it feels like now that the team has lost eight of their last 10 games. NetsDaily

During Wednesday night’s Nets-Raptors game, Kris Humphries went to the line for two free throws. After making his first, he is given the ball to shoot his second. That’s when referee Courtney Kirkland realized that Jose Calderon was waiting to check in. Instead of blowing his whistle and waving his arms, he ran at Humphries and attempted to block his free throw attempt. The Big Lead

But websites maintained by individual athletes, featuring fresh material on an almost daily basis, are few and far between. Humphries, for example, has his own eponymous site—which was last updated in April, back when the Nets were still marooned in New Jersey. "I don't even know what's on there," he said.

As Kris Humphries was leaving Boston Garden and declining to discuss his fracas with Rajon Rondo, Jason Terry was in the Celtics locker room insulting the Nets forward. "Some guys are tough. Some guys pretend to be. He's one of those that pretends to be," Terry told reporters. "I played with him (on the 2009-10 Dallas Mavericks). Maybe that's the role Avery (Johnson) wants him to have, but he could leave that to somebody else." Terry continued jab at Humphries, calling him “soft.” New York Daily News

Kim Kardashian's divorce attorney told a judge Wednesday that the reality star wants to move on with her life but is "handcuffed" to her estranged husband because the case is not yet ready for trial. Superior Court Judge Stephen Moloney told attorneys for Kardashian and NBA player Kris Humphries to return to court in mid-February to set a trial date to either dissolve or annul the couple's 72-day marriage. He didn't set a deadline for depositions and other pre-trial investigations to be completed, but indicated a trial could be held early next year if it is ready by Feb. 15. ESPN.com

Although Johnson stopped short of saying that Humphries’s starting role was in jeopardy, he said flatly, “We do not have a rotation yet,” and suggested that the Nets might have to change lineups at times “to cover for some of our weaknesses.” “Everything right now is an open book,” Johnson said.

The Nets will use stage lighting — just as the Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers do — enhancing the feel of intimacy and putting the focus squarely on the court. Johnson described it as “that Broadway feel.” The players were also thrilled with their spacious new locker room, which includes an array of electrical outlets in every locker so they can keep their phones and iPads charged. “It’s first class,” forward Kris Humphries said of the arena, adding, “Everything’s so much bigger and nicer than what we’re used to.” New York Times

Brooklyn Nets forward Kris Humphries has signed with agent Arn Tellem of Wasserman Media Group, which now represents three-fifths of the team’s starting lineup. The firm’s clients also include Nets center Brook Lopez and guard Joe Johnson, whom the team acquired in a trade with the Atlanta Hawks during the offseason. Humphries, who signed a two-year, $24 million contract during the offseason, had been represented by agent Dan Fegan, who couldn’t immediately be reached to comment on the change. Bloomberg
