Nene can't seem to shake the injury bug. 

The Washington Wizards power forward is a game-time decision for Wednesday's contest against the Orlando Magic due to a sore right knee, according to Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel. He was forced to miss Monday's double-overtime win over the Boston Celtics due to the knee issue. 

It's simply the latest setback for the oft-injured Nene. He just came back to play limited minutes in a pair of contests after missing five games as he deals with plantar fasciitis in his right foot. 

The veteran big man is averaging 10 points and 5.1 rebounds in 25.5 minutes per game. 

Nene's injuries have allowed Kris Humphries to get more run. Humphries has started the Wizards' last eight games and is averaging 9.6 points and 9.5 rebounds per game over the stretch.
