Fate came randomly for Nene. The NBA randomly selected the 25-year-old Nuggets forward for a drug test and the results detected something abnormal. Doctors soon found a tumor. Monday, Nene had a testicular tumor removed surgically. He now awaits the results of a biopsy to determine if cancer is present. While the results are pending, the tumor was caught at an early stage, which is reassuring.

Wow... that's lucky. Best wishes Nene. Hopefully this is all it pans out to be. A lucky coincidence, a little surgery and done.

They should test everyone in the NBA. It can cost money but it's worth it. See what happened out of the blue. Best of luck to Nene.
