NBA: MRI shows Nene has bruised knee, no further damage

Associated Press

DENVER — Denver Nuggets forward Nene has a bone bruise on his right knee and won't play in tonight's game against the Boston Celtics.

The tests showed that his knee has no structural damage. He is listed day-to-day.

Nene was injured in the final minute of Denver's 120-117 loss at Milwaukee on Sunday night when he banged knees with Bucks forward Richard Jefferson.

Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin, who has missed the past 1› games with back spasms is a game-time decision for tonight.
