Breaking news: Nene’s tumor is benign! This is AWESOME news.

No word yet on when he’ll return to the court, but I’ll keep you posted.

Edit: The statement that Nene’s tumor was benign was removed from his website. I’m not sure what this means, but will keep you updated.

Edit: The tumor was malignant, but it was caught early and reports are that it hasn’t spread. A full recovery is likely. Good thoughts to Nene.

Denver Nuggets forward Nene had a testicular tumor removed yesterday. The surgery was performed at a Denver hospital; no other details are available.

Good thoughts to Nene, one of my favorites. I hope he’s doing well and that this isn’t serious.
