Ty Lawson may not be able to play in season opener

Nuggets guard Ty Lawson said he hopes to be ready for Wednesday night's season opener at Sacramento but that he's not sure his ailing groin will let him.

"It's still feeling a little stiff, so I don't know yet," Lawson said.

Lawson was injured in the Nuggets' final preseason game Friday at Chicago. He did not participate in practice Sunday. Lawson said he will wait "to see how it feels, see how far I can take it."
