    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Nene walked off the Pepsi Center court Thursday morning smiling from ear to ear. He had just finished an on-court drill with assistant coach Jamahl Mosley. Nene's left thumb was the focal point.
    After tearing the ulnar collateral ligament in that digit Nov. 17 at Boston, Nene is close to returning. He'll begin full-contact practices after this weekend.

    "It's sore," Nene said. "It's all right. I want to play next week." -- The Denver Post</div>

    I guess $60 million doesn't buy you that much these days.

    The Nuggets need him. Camby is playing on borrowed time as he hasn't missed a game this season. Plus, Nene gives them a dimension that they are lacking in terms of post scoring.

    "It's sore," Nene said. "It's all right. I want to play next week."

    Nene, who averages 6.4 points and 5.2 rebounds, has missed the past five weeks of play. The Brazilian forward has worked to get into better condition and appears to be a thinner version of himself. He said pain in the thumb is the issue, but as long as he can tolerate it, he'll play. Nene will wear a splint on the lower half of his hand.

    Logistically, Nene said he has been in constant conversations with assistant Tim Grgurich to "learn the plays again."</div>
