Nene leaves, returns with right knee injury
Nene Hilario - F/C - Denver Nuggets
April 17, 2011 - 11:30 PM ET
Nene, who returned Sunday from a groin injury, left the game near the start of the second half after injuring his right knee.
He hobbled off the court and then was assisted to the locker room by his trainer and Al Harrington. This was potentially devastating news, especially since Nene has done such a great job of staying relatively healthy over the past three seasons. But it's just a contusion and he returned to the game late in the third quarter. We'll have to see how he feels tomorrow morning before declaring him healthy.
