The Nuggets took a big hit at center Sunday with the announcement that starter JaVale McGee will be out indefinitely because of a stress fracture in his left tibia.
McGee's X-ray Sunday revealed the stress fracture.
"I have no idea on a timetable," Nuggets coach Brian Shaw said of McGee's return to the lineup. "It's unfortunate, but injuries are part of the game. Hopefully we can hold the fort down until he gets back."
McGee is averaging 15.8 minutes, 7.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocked shots per game.
