“I was a little behind, than I thought,” Nene said, when explaining the reason for the treatment. “It’s still inflamed. I just want to take care of it the right way. But all the exercises, I’ve been doing fine. I’ve been listening. I’ve been obedient.”
“I’m getting there, man. I believe I’m making progress,” Nene said. “I just want to make sure I’m 100 percent because I don’t want this kind of injury again on a season.”
Sounded like from an early post I did that things were looking good. Now this one makes it more clear he won't be ready which is what some had feared.
First game is in 11 days. If it is still inflamed, that alone sounds like another two weeks min if they plan on really making sure everything is ok. I would think they would want it not inflamed for at least a week. Personally, I would want longer then that.
I'm kind of pissed he did the Olympics since he was injured. I understand why he wanted to do it but in doing it, he hurt the team that is paying him.
The key at this point is getting Kevin S back. If they can get him right, they may be able to buy some more time for Nene to get fully better while still treading water.
Fri, Nov 9 vs MIL at home is 3 weeks. Hopefully that is enough for him. He would only miss 3 games.
Phil said in the pregame that they are targeting Nene to return 1 week into the season. Well see but that is good information.
