[Preview] 6/82: @ Washington Wizards, 10 a.m.(KT)

While Washington Wizards star Gilbert Arenas is doing his best to play through discomfort, Denver Nuggets forward Nene won't get a chance to. 워싱턴 입장에서는 포워드 네네가 빠진 덴버 너게츠를 상대로 시즌 첫승을 거둘 수 있는 기회다.   With Arenas struggling, the Wizards look to avoid the franchise's first 0-5 start in 41 years as they host the injury-riddled Nuggets on Friday night. 위저즈는 금요일 밤 너게츠전에서도 패할 경우 프랜차이즈 사상 41년 만에 5연패로 시즌을 출발하게 된다.   After having his surgically repaired left knee drained Wednesday, Arenas had 21 points but continued to struggle with his shooting in an 87-85 loss to New Jersey on Thursday night. 수요일 왼쪽 무릎이 좋지 않았던 아레나스가 21득점 했지만, 팀은 목요일 밤 뉴저지에 85-87로 지고 말았다.   Arenas got the ball with a chance to tie the game, but didn't get going until about 7 seconds left and his off-balance shot failed to hit the rim as Washington fell to 0-4 for the first time since 1992-93. Arenas, who has gotten his knee drained twice in the last three weeks, is shooting only 35.1 percent from the field. 아레나스는 7초를 남기고 급하게 슛을 쐈지만 들어가지 않으면서 팀이 1992-93시즌 이후 처음으로 시즌을 4연패로 시작하는 것을 지켜봐야 했다. 아레나스는 지난 3주간 야투 성공율 35.1%를 기록중이다.   "It's embarrassing to start off 0-4. Last year, we started off 4-0," said Arenas, who is averaging 32.3 points in his last four games against Denver (2-3). "We'll get better." 아레나스는 덴버(2-3)와의 지난 4경기에서 평균 32.3득점을 기록하고 있다.   The Wizards will now try to avoid going 0-5 for the first time since 1966-67, when the franchise was in Baltimore. They'll be facing a Nuggets team that has lost three straight after opening 2-0, and will be without Nene for up to six weeks because of a torn ligament in his left thumb. 위저즈가 5연패로 시즌을 시작한 것은 지난 1966-67시즌 볼티모어에 있을 때가 처음이다. 너게츠는 2연승을 달리다 최근 3연패에 빠졌는데, 네네가 왼쪽 엄지손가락 인대 부상으로 6주간 결장하게 되는 불운도 겹쳤다.   The power forward was injured in Denver's 119-93 loss at Boston on Wednesday night, and the team said Dr. Carlton Clinkscale will operate on the thumb Friday. 파워포워드의 부상 가운데 덴버는 수요일 밤 보스턴 원정에서 93-119로 대패했다.   Nene came back last year after a knee injury that wiped out almost his entire 2005-06 season. The Nuggets have been hampered by injuries for the third straight season. 네네는 지난 2005-06시즌에도 무릎 부상으로 시즌을 통째로 날린 적이 있다.   Denver has been playing without point guards Michael Wilks (hamstring), Anthony Carter (broken hand) and Chucky Atkins (groin). The Nuggets are also monitoring minutes for power forward Kenyon Martin, who is still recovering from a knee operation last year. 덴버는 부상병동이다. 마이크 윌크스(햄스트링), 앤소니 카터(손 골절)와 척키 앳킨스(사타구니). 너게츠는 포워드 케년 마틴이, 지난 시즌을 무릎 부상으로 날렸다가 돌아온 상태다.   Martin, who had four fouls in the first half against the Celtics, has yet to play in back-to-back games and has been limited to about 18 minutes a contest. 마틴은 셀틱스전에서, 18분을 뛰었다.   With injuries mounting, Denver stars Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony will be counted on even more. Iverson led the Nuggets with 22 points Wednesday, but Anthony was held to only 11 on 3-of-13 shooting. 아이버슨은 수요일 22득점으로 너게츠를 이끌었지만, 앤소니는 11득점(3/13)에 그쳤다.   Iverson is averaging 35.3 points, 11.3 assists and 2.6 steals in his last three games against Washington. 아이버슨은 위저즈와의 지난 3경기에서 평균 35.3득점, 11.3어시스트와 2.6개의 스틸을 기록했다.   Nuggets center Marcus Camby struggled against Boston, grabbing only eight rebounds after totaling 70 through the first four games. He'll be expected to help out in the paint against Wizards forward Antawn Jamison, who is coming off a 24-point, nine-rebound effort. 너게츠 센터 마커스 캠비는 위저즈의 포워드 앤트완 재이미슨과 매치업을 하게 될 것이다.   Jamison, however, didn't have any offensive rebounds and Washington had just eight as a team after averaging 18.3 in its first three games. The Wizards have been outrebounded 115-96 overall. 재이미슨은, 팀의 첫 3경기에서 평균 18.3득점을 기록하고 있다.   Caron Butler has been perhaps Washington's steadiest player, averaging 20.3 points and 8.7 rebounds. He tied his career high with seven steals Thursday, matching a mark set against Denver in an 86-76 Washington loss on Jan. 8. 캐론 버틀러는 평균 20.3득점과 8.7리바운드를 기록하고 있다. 위저즈는 지난 1월 8일 덴버에 76-86으로 패했었다.   Denver and Washington split their two meetings last season, with each team winning at home. 덴버와 워싱턴은 지난 시즌 2번을 만나, 1승 1패를 기록했다.
