Nene left early in Denver's 119-93 loss to the Celtics Wednesday with the injury. </font></p> <font size="2"> Nene has averaged 11 points and 6.4 rebounds per game over his six-year career, all spent in Denver. </font></p> </div></p> </p>
We're down to Steven Hunter and Bobby Jones now and Melo is going to have to get at least 6 boards a game. Otherwise, probably no playoffs for the Nuggets, but probably new coaches next year as a result of no playoffs.</p>
