The Denver Nuggets will be at full strength when they take on the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday, as point guard Ty Lawson will play despite his wonky ankle, reports Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post.

Lawson sat out the Nuggets' last contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers to rest his perpetually ailing ankle.

Lawson's return pushes guard Nate Robinson back to the bench. On the season, Lawson is averaging 12.5 points and 7.8 assists per game.
