    Rockets reserve center Nene will miss the remainder of the playoffs due to a torn left adductor, the team announced Monday morning.

    Nene suffered the injury during the first quarter of Sunday's series-tying Game 4 victory over the San Antonio Spurs. He missed the rest of the game, leaving the Toyota Center to undergo an MRI.

    "I hate it for Nene," coach Mike D'Antoni said. "He's been so valuable all year and such a good guy. The good news is I don't think it's as bad as I'm hoping it wouldn't be. I think it's going to turn out that way. Obviously he's done for this series. We're just hoping he gets well quick."
