Analysis:

McGee has been sidelined since early-December due to leg soreness, but could see the court as early as Jan. 14 in a best-case scenario. Due to the recent trade of Timofey Mozgov, McGee could take on significant minutes when ready, as Jusuf Nurkic is currently occupying the role of starting center.
