Power forwards Nene and Kenyon Martin are expected to play in Wednesday's Denver-Milwaukee game, 7 P.M. at Pepsi Center.

The oft-injured Nene played the first five games this season then suffered a thumb injury that required surgery. Martin suffered a hamstring injury last Thursday and missed the Nuggets' two games this past weekend.

Nene will play limited minutes in his first game back, Denver Coach George Karl said at this morning's shootaround. This season Nene has averaged 6.4 points and 5.2 rebounds in 19.4 minutes.
