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.
