UPDATE:

The Rockets announced that Nene has gone to the hospital in order to undergo an MRI.

The San Antonio Spurs suffered a tough injury blow earlier in their second-round series against the Houston Rockets, as Tony Parker ruptured his quad tendon during Game 2, which will keep him out for the playoffs.

Now, the Houston Rockets have felt the injury bug as their big man, Nene, went down with a pulled groin early in Game 4. He suffered the injury less than two minutes after he checked into the game, leaving with 3:30 left in the first quarter.
