Nuggets' McGee leaves game with leg strain
Isaiah J. Downing-USA TODAY Sports
Denver Nuggets center JaVale McGee exited Sunday's contest against the Los Angeles Lakers with a lower left leg strain and won't return.
McGee scored two points and hauled in four rebounds in six minutes of action.
The 7-footer has been used sparingly by the Nuggets this season, averaging a career-low 12.1 minutes per game, so his absence is unlikely to affect the team's rotations much.
