JaVale McGee (leg) is still without a timetable to return, The Denver Post reports. He has been rehabilitating on a bone stimulator doing upper body work, but has yet to put pressure on his leg. McGee is scheduled for an x-ray over the next week to check the recovery status of his tibia.

Analysis:

McGee has been a disappointment this year so far, averaging just 7.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks in five games. It appears he will remain out for more time, and it will be hard to stash him in most leagues until the Nuggets provide a specific timetable for his return. Meanwhile, continue to expect J.J. Hickson to start in his place.
