<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> When Nuggets coach George Karl looks down his bench, he may see as many options as any other coach in the NBA. The Nuggets activated forward-center Nene from the injured list Sunday after he missed the previous 13 games because of a sprained left knee suffered Feb. 13 against New Jersey. Forward-center Mark Pope (strained left hamstring) replaced Nene on the injured list. With Nene's return, the Nuggets have one of the deeper benches in the league. Denver's bench has averaged 46 points over the past seven games, including 40 in Sunday night's 114-103 victory against Milwaukee. The bench has averaged 51.7 points in the past three contests. "They are definitely one of the deep ones," Milwaukee coach Terry Porter said. "San Antonio's bench is pretty deep. Memphis' bench is pretty deep. I think (the Nuggets) have to be up there."</div> Source
