McGee (illness) will sit out the Nuggets' next two games, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

McGee is apparently dealing with a fairly serious illness and has been sent back to Denver to recover. That means he'll sit out Wednesday in Boston, as well as Friday in Detroit, before likely returning to the court Monday when the Nuggets host Oklahoma City. In two games since returning from a lower-leg injury, McGee has scored 10 points and grabbed six rebounds in a total of 31 minutes.
