McGee is now pain free and working with coaches in the rehabilitation program.

Analysis:

McGee missed a majority of the 2013-14 season after a stress fracture discovered in his left tibia was discovered in November. He was the starter coming in to the 2013-14 season, but an injury left Timofey Mozgov at center, who averaged 9.4 points and 6.4 boards for the team last season. McGee will likely be the favorite to start at center for the Nuggets in 2014-15, but will have to prove his worth in training camp to guarantee he starts.
