OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Denver Nuggets will do some odd things between now and February.
It's the price of losing power forward Antonio McDyess, who is out three months after undergoing knee surgery. Thursday night, the Nuggets were short another big man.

Veteran forward/center Kevin Willis (sore back) did not suit up for the Nuggets' preseason game against Golden State at The Arena, a game that marked Denver's third consecutive preseason loss, this one 96-94.
