The Denver Nuggets have received some injury relief.
Paul Millsap came off the bench Saturday against the Phoenix Suns. The veteran power forward had been out of action since Dec. 7 due to a broken toe. He was originally slated to miss four-to-six weeks.
Going into Saturday, Millsap averaged 13.6 points, seven rebounds, and was shooting a career-high 40 percent from beyond the arc this season.
Mason Plumlee has been starting in Millsap's place. The Nuggets are still without another starter in Gary Harris, who is nursing a hip injury.
