Nuggets' Wilson Chandler: Leaves with hamstring tightness

Chandler left Sunday's game against the Celtics with left hamstring tightness and won't return.

Analysis:

The premature departure didn't prevent Chandler from turning in his best stat line of the season, with the veteran forward tallying 22 points (8-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 25 minutes. According to Harrison Wind of BSN Denver, coach Michael Malone said that Chandler's injury is "not serious," so he may have just been held out with the Nuggets racing to a big lead by halftime. If Chandler does end up sitting out Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies, Darrell Arthur, Mike Miller and/or Juan Hernangomez could end up picking up a few extra minutes off the bench.
