Nene has missed significant time this season because of soreness in his left foot and right knee.

“The priority is to take care of my foot,” said Nene, who had issues with ligaments and tendons underneath the foot before being traded to the Wizards last year. “In three months, four months, we’ll see. I suffered to play this season. I’m still suffering. I need to heal myself. My foot is still hurting. My knee is sore and still weak.”

Nene plans to use the offseason to rest his body.

“There’s a lot of things to do. … I don’t want to suffer,” Nene said. “I don’t want to go through this experience again. The priority is recover, improve my body, my foot, my knee come back strong and do the things I need to do to help this team. My last couple years I don’t have (enough) time to work on myself.”
