CHICAGO — Nuggets leading scorer Gary Harris (knee sprain/strain) is set to miss his third consecutive game, Wednesday night against the Bulls. He’s also likely to sit out Friday’s contest at Washington, making Monday’s game at Philadelphia or Tuesday’s visit to Toronto the “best-case scenario” for Harris to return, coach Michael Malone said at Wednesday morning’s shootaround at the United Center.
“As important as these games are, we’re not gonna risk Gary Harris going out there and hurting himself further,” Malone said. “We care about Gary Harris too much, and we know how important he is to our future.
