McGee (leg) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Spurs and could miss significant time, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

McGee will miss his eighth game in the Nuggets' last nine, and with Kenneth Faried (ankle) also out, Timofey Mozgov, Darrell Arthur and J.J. Hickson should see the bulk of the frontcourt minutes. The Nuggets announced McGee has aggravated the muscle near his tibia, in which there was a stress fracture, and it's expected to be "a while" before the big man is ready to return. Look for a more detailed report, and presumably a return timetable, in the coming days.
