Nene is day to day. Again.
First it was the left heel, and now it's the left calf that could keep the Nuggets big man sidelined. Officially he is listed as questionable for Denver's next game, Tuesday at home against Phoenix. But after Saturday's win at Indiana, coach George Karl said: "How long Nene will be out, I don't know. He'll probably miss Tuesday's game, maybe a few more. ... I haven't heard the specifics, just someone whispering to me that it might be four or five days."
The Nuggets had a rare day off Sunday and will return to practice today.
Nene injured the calf against the Pacers — he had already tallied 11 points and five rebounds in 22 minutes. He has missed five of Denver's 28 games this season and missed much of training camp, while his representatives worked out his new contract with the Nuggets.
The 29-year-old averages 13.4 points per game and 7.8 rebounds but is shooting 52 percent from the field, his lowest average since 2004-05. (To be completely accurate, he was 0-for-1 in the 2005-06 season before suffering a season-ending injury in the very first game).
Also, Nene is shooting 63.6 percent from the foul line, his lowest average since 2007-08.

#Nuggets coach George Karl says Mozgov and Nene won't play tonight. Probable starters: Ty, AAA, Koufos, Faried and Brewer.

#Nuggets center Timofey Mozgov says his ankle is feeling good but coach Karl not expecting him to return tonight or Wednesday at Dallas.
Nice to see Andersen have a great performance tonight. He looked spent, though.Originally Posted by Executive76

Quickly: #Nuggets F/C Nene is in a walking boot for the next 4-$+* days and will see how he feels after that before returning, he said.
Chris Dempsey @dempseypost
And he may not play here in Memphis, but T. Mozgov is closing in on a return. He did some pre-game stuff in Dallas to good reviews.
Chris Dempsey @dempseypost
Barring a miracle, I would rule Nene out for OKC
Chris Dempsey @dempseypost
Nene said doctors told him on Tue. he wld be in a boot for "4 or 5" days. And if he felt better after that he would play.
Chris Dempsey @dempseypost
He insinuated that coming back too fast from the heel contributed to the calf. I asked specifically about the calf.
Chris Dempsey @dempseypost
"I had an injury and it created another injury because I tried to force myself, and that's what happened," Nene said.
