<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Nuggets' Nene missed his 12th straight game Wednesday because of a bruised right knee. He wants to play Friday against Miami but doesn't anticipate big minutes for a while. Nene, who said the knee remains sore, called his absence longer than expected. Nene, who suffered a torn right anterior cruciate ligament last season, must "see in games" before determining if he's worried about his knee. Nuggets coach George Karl, who hoped for a Wednesday return, called Nene "the only one who can really feel it when he's ready." </div> Source
