Nuggets guard Randy Foye returns to action after 26-game absence

The Nuggets lined up a new look in their reserve backcourt Saturday with the return of Randy Foye and the home introduction of Jameer Nelson.

Foye, who last played Nov. 23 at Los Angeles against the Lakers, played his first minutes since missing 26 games with a strained right quadriceps.

Foye was averaging 8.4 points and 2.0 assists over 19.0 minutes in 11 games before injuring his thigh. But he won't jump right back into the Nuggets' full rotation.
