Gallinari returns to action for Nuggets

Danilo Gallinari returned from a six-game absence Saturday and started for the Denver Nuggets against the Golden State Warriors.

In a double dose of good news for the Nuggets, center Jusuf Nurkic made his season debut as well.

Gallinari, who's Denver's leading scorer at a career-high 17.3 points per game, was sidelined with an ankle sprain. The team managed just one win in his absence.
