DENVER (AP) — Forward Arron Afflalo returned to the Denver Nuggets’ lineup Monday night against Golden State.
He had missed 11 of the team’s previous 15 games with a strained left hamstring.
Also available for the Nuggets was center Chris “Birdman” Andersen, who had missed five games after spraining his right ankle April 1.
The Nuggets, however, were still without Wilson Chandler (left ankle), Danilo Gallinari (right ankle), Al Harrington (rest) and Timofey Mozgov (left ankle and knee) as they tried to reach 50 wins for the fourth straight season.
The Warriors were without Monta Ellis, who sustained a concussion in the final minute of a game against Sacramento on Sunday night.
