Nene Hilario (calf) will "play a little bit" Tuesday against the Knicks, J. Michael of CSN Mid Atlantic reports.

Hilario (calf) confirmed he will "play a little bit" Tuesday against the Knicks, J. Michael of CSN Mid-Atlantic reports.

Analysis:

Hilario went through practice Monday and took part in Tuesday's shootaround, so it looks like he'll be available to return following a two-game absence due to some tightness in his left calf. It sounds as though Hilario's minutes will be limited, however, which may allow Drew Gooden to remain in the rotation.
