McGee (leg) underwent an X-ray on his left tibia Monday, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

McGee left Sunday's game against the Lakers after playing only six minutes due to a leg strain. The X-ray is likely just precautionary, as McGee dealt with a stress fracture in his left tibia that limited him to five games last season. The Nuggets will certainly exercise caution with the mercurial center, and he's considered day-to-day in advance of Tuesday's matchup with Chicago.
