Hope he can get some consolation from the Lance Armstrong story about working out and the asset that a fit body can be in a cancer fight. I wish him the best.

Russ Bengtson says:
DaJuan definitely wins the overall, but Nene’s had a hell of a bad stretch. Curse of the 2002 draft? (Jay Williams, DaJuan and Nene all went in the top 7.) And so much for the Nuggets making a major trade before the deadline. Get better soon, Nene.

Reggie Evans says:
Yahoo is reporting that Nene had a testicular tumor removed, and that he is doing well. They also report that when he returns his uniform will simply read “Ne” on the back.
