Nene's return to the Washington Wizards' lineup lasted all of two games.
After returning from a five-game absence due to plantar fasciitis for games against the Denver Nuggets and Boston Celtics, Nene was held out of Monday's game against the Celtics with a sore right knee.
The early-season foot and knee issues have to be concerning for Washington, as Nene has missed at least 21 games in each of the last three seasons due to a variety of ailments.
Nene has averaged 10 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 13 games for the Wizards this season.
