Nene is expected to be able to play today when Brazil plays Argentina in the quarterfinals. Brazilian coach Ruben Magnano rested Nene in the game against Spain, which the Brazilians won 88-82. In winning this game, it may have made the path to the medal podium more difficult for the Brazilians, who haven't won a medal since 1964.
The Wizards have been monitoring Nene's heel pain and believe it will not be a problem when training camp begins on October 2.
After playing the first game in London, Nene said the plantar fasciitis that had bothered him shortly after he joined the Wizards was flaring up again. With the Olympics coming to a conclusion on Sunday, the Wizards expect Nene to have enough time to rest his injury. He had missed 10 consecutive games in April due to the pain from plantar fasciits, but returned for the final 5 games.
In the games, Nene is averaging just 6.5 points and 7.0 rebounds in 4 games.
Nene will have to rest, ice, and stretch his injured foot so he can play properly and without problems in the coming basketball season. Let's hope he's seeing a podiatrist who is giving him the treatment he needs!
