Joffrey Lauvergne said he's hampered by a blood infection that began last week. Lauvergne said the initial cause is unknown, but the training staff told him it probably began from bacteria buildup between his toes.
"I'm just getting back to practice day by day. I start to get better every day," Lauvergne said. "My foot keeps hurting me, but I don't feel weak like a few days ago, so that's better."
Lauvergne is one of a few players on the summer-league roster with a legitimate shot of being on the Nuggets when the NBA season begins this fall.
