The Denver Nuggets have activated G Voshon Lenard from the injured list, team General Manager Kiki Vandeweghe announced today. The Nuggets have also placed C/F Marcus Camby on the injured list due to a strained right hamstring.
Lenard has missed the last 79 games after suffering a torn left Achilles tendon in the third quarter against the Lakers on opening night (Nov. 2). He scored 13 points in 24 minutes before suffering the injury and had successful surgery on Nov. 8. Lenard averaged 14.2 ppg for the Nuggets last season and led the team with 106 three-point field goals made. He also captured the Foot Locker 3-Point Shootout at All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles.
Camby suffered a strained right hamstring in the second quarter against Memphis on April 15 and did not play against Houston the following night.
Camby will be eligible for the playoffs, which start this weekend.
