Nene comes through despite knee injury
Nene Hilario - F/C - Denver Nuggets
April 18, 2011 - 12:50 AM ET
Nene overcame a right knee contusion suffered early in the second half and hit 9-of-11 shots for 22 points, eight rebounds and two steals in 34 minutes.
He missed most of the third quarter and was fantastic when he was in there. Had he not suffered the injury, he likely would have played close to 40 minutes and had an even better line. It looks like he avoided disaster tonight, although we'll still need to wait and see how his knee is doing prior to Game 2 on Wednesday.
