Nene has been suspended for one regular season game for leaving the bench area during an altercation in Monday's preseason game versus the Bulls, Yahoo! Sports reports.

Analysis:

Nene was rested by coach Randy Wittman for Monday's game, but will still be disciplined for his action during a run-in between teammate Paul Pierce and Bulls' center Joakim Noah. As a result, Nene will miss Washington's season opener against the Heat, which should allow Kris Humphries to start at power forward in his Wizards' debut.
