Guard Allen Iverson was injured in practice Wednesday at the Pepsi Center, suffering a left quadriceps contusion when he collided with center Steven Hunter.
"He got kneed in the thigh," coach George Karl said. "Doesn't seem to be anything long term. They said his range of motion was fine."
The initial prognosis on Iverson is day to day, but the injury might shelve him for a preseason game tonight at Phoenix (8 MDT, TNT). It also lengthens a Nuggets' infirmary report that includes big men Kenyon Martin, Nene, Marcus Camby, Eduardo Najera and point guard Chucky Atkins.
The injury to Iverson, who is expected to start at point guard rather than shooting guard, as he did last season, means the Nuggets have no point guards who are 100 percent healthy.
