McGee (leg) returned to practice Sunday and is on track to play Monday against the Jazz, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

McGee has been sidelined for a week with soreness in his left tibia, a bone in which he suffered a stress fracture last season. The Nuggets will re-evaluate McGee following the conclusion of Sunday's session, at which point it should become more clear as to whether he will, indeed, take the court Monday. The Nevada product is averaging just 5.6 points and 3.0 rebounds this season.
