Nuggets' Danilo Gallinari: Will play Thursday against Kings

Gallinari (groin) will play in Thursday's game against the Kings, James Ham of CSN Bay Area reports.

Analysis:

Gallinari was the subject of many trade rumors leading up to Thursday's deadline, but doesn't appear to be headed anywhere and will remain in Denver. He suffered a groin injury back on Feb. 1 and has been out ever since, bit will now return to action after having the All-Star break to recover. As a result, Gallinari will likely draw the start at small forward, with Wilson Chandler and Will Barton getting solid minutes off the bench.
