McGee (leg) could make his preseason debut Tuesday against the Blazers, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

McGee suffered a stress fracture in his tibia last season and continues to be hampered by the injury. He's yet to play in the preseason, meaning Timofey Mozgov is likely to open the regular season as the starting center. The team hopes McGee, who has been a full participant in recent practices, will be able to play Tuesday, but if that's not the case, he'll shoot for Friday's exhibition finale against the Warriors.
