Denver Nuggets center Marcus Camby missed Thursday night's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers because of a sprained right pinkie finger.

The Nuggets also were without guard Earl Boykins, who missed his second game with a left hamstring strain.

Camby, who is tied for the league lead in rebounding, injured the finger during practice Wednesday. He is listed as day to day and will be a game-time decision Friday night at New Jersey.

It was the second game Camby has missed this season. Francisco Elson started at center in his place.

Camby is averaging 16.8 points and 13.3 rebounds this season. He scored 10 points and had four rebounds in Denver's 101-85 win against Charlotte on Tuesday night.
