Lawson departed Saturday's preseason game with a tight hamstring.

Analysis:

The Nuggets did not offer much of a follow-up on the situation, which likely means the issue is nothing serious. It's rather concerning that Lawson played only 10 minutes before leaving, but the point guard is still working himself back into game shape after an ankle injury, so a tight hamstring could be a product of a relative lack of conditioning. In a move that's likely precautionary, Lawson has already been ruled out for Tuesday's exhibition game against the Blazers.
