Wilson Chandler has missed all but four games this season but participated in Denver Nuggets shootaround on Friday and believes he is a little over two weeks away from a potential return.

“I’m very excited,” Chandler said. “The first time I was excited to play but I was kind of weak and just wasn’t ready. This time around I feel really strong and confident about it.”

Chandler, who is dealing with a hip injury that's much longer to heal than he had thought, is aiming to come back on Jan. 13.
