    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Nearly six months after being shot four times in his legs and hip, Nuggets guard Julius Hodge is still struggling with his recovery.

    Hodge recently suffered a foot infection related to his gunshot wounds, and he might be limited when training camp begins Tuesday in Durango, Nuggets athletic trainer Jim Gillen said.

    Hodge was wounded April 8 while driving on Interstate 76 north of Denver. No suspects have been arrested in the case.

    The medical news is better for Nuggets forward Nene, who began testing his surgically repaired right knee this week in five-on-five games at the Pepsi Center. Nene tore an anterior cruciate ligament in the season opener last year and missed 81 games. He signed a six-year, $60 million contract in July.

    "We'll monitor him daily when he starts training camp," Gillen said Wednesday. "He's doing good." </div>
