06:11 PM ET 11.02 | The Washington Wizards are still waiting for their highest-paid player to hit the court this season. Nene is still dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left foot, and there is still no timetable for his return. He suffered the injury at the end of last season, then reaggravated it while playing for Brazil in the 2012 London Olympics. In the meantime, Nene has been reduced to being a mentor. "He told me, 'You got 81 more games left. Hold your head high,'" forward Trevor Booker said. "I look at him as my big brother. He definitely offers a lot of advice."
