MEMPHIS – On Saturday, the Nuggets began what will be at least a week without their leading scorer, Gary Harris, as the starting shooting guard recovers from a right knee injury.
Nuggets coach Michael Malone said there is hope, however, that Harris can return to the lineup before the end of the team’s current seven-game road trip.
“Yes, there’s hope for that,” Malone said. “I think we dodged a real bullet with that injury. Now, what does that mean? Obviously, this is a 15-day road trip. So, it’s not saying a whole lot. I think Gary will probably be out maybe three, four games, and hopefully we’re able to get him back after that.
