Wizards' Nene, Gooden could remain out up to 2 weeks

It appears the Washington Wizards' frontcourt will remain depleted for the next little while, as Coach Randy Wittman said Nene and Drew Gooden are expected to remain out for another "three-to-four days to two weeks."

Nene has been dealing with a calf injury while Gooden has been battling back spasms. Both big men have been out of the lineup since late November.

Rookie Kelly Oubre has made the most of his opportunity with the duo out, averaging 11.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, and shooting 51.4 percent from the field over his last five contests.

With Bradley Beal also out of the lineup, the suddenly hot Wizards will be faced with a tough task when they meet the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night.
