The Nets power forward, coming off consecutive seasons averaging at least 10 points and 10 rebounds, is on a short leash under PJ Carlesimo, who said Friday that a glut of frontcourt players – albeit a very flawed collection -- has created a “logjam.” Of course, there's one surefire way to get rid of a logjam: roster moves “It’s not a good situation,” Carlesimo said of his power forwards. “You can’t play through mistakes.” New York Daily News

Brooklyn Nets forward Kris Humphries has asked a judge to dismiss a lawsuit from a former lover who alleges she contracted a sexually-transmitted disease from him. Kayla Goldberg filed a sexual battery and negligible transmission of a venereal disease lawsuit against the NBA player in August 2012, claiming he infected her with genital herpes after they allegedly had unprotected sex in 2010.

Kris Humphries says he's 100% HERPES FREE ... and claims he's got the test results to prove it ... TMZ has learned. Humphries just filed a response to a lawsuit filed by Kayla Goldberg -- who claims the NBA star gave her herpes during a condomless sexual encounter in Hollywood back in 2010. In the docs, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Kris does not deny sleeping with Kayla, but insists he never passed on the herpes virus -- because he got tested for the disease after the hook-up and it came back negative.

Humphries did not need them to document the vitriol Knicks fans spewed at him Monday afternoon at the Garden, but maybe he could have picked up a sign of life from the crowd after the Nets pulled out the 88-85 win. “They were harassing me when I was going in and out of the tunnel,” Humphries said. “But after, I asked them, ‘Why’s everyone so quiet?’ New York Daily News

Humphries expounded on his remarks via Twitter: “the Garden got really quiet on the way out!” If this insult jumpstarts a real rivalry, let it be known it involved, like most things these days, Kim Kardashian, Humphries’ former wife. New York Daily News

The Knicks’ J.R. Smith, who missed the potential game-tying basket at the buzzer, responded with his best shot when he made reference to Kardashian’s latest man, Kanye West. “Wasnt quiet when Kanye tore it down last month!” Smith tweeted back at Humphries. New York Daily News

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
