David Stern will be in Denver for Game 3 of the Nuggets/Spurs series, fueling increasing speculation that Marcus Camby will win the Defensive Player of the Year award.

Until they officially announce it or I see it across the (TV) screen, I don't get my hopes up," Camby said Thursday.

"It would be the greatest award I've received, other than college player of the year (at the University of Massachusetts in 1996). There are so many great people that won the award."
