Injured guard Julius Hodge expects to begin playing for the Nuggets again in training camp, said Hodge's agent, Marc Cornstein.

Hodge has been attempting to overcome hip, leg and foot injuries from a drive-by shooting April 8 while in his car in north Denver.  He hasn't played full court basketball since.

"By the start of camp he'll be 100 percent cleared," Cornstein said. "It's taken a lot of summer to fully rehab and make sure he's 100 percent healthy. Hopefully, his medical stuff is behind him.

"He's coming off a tough year. It's a very traumatic experience to be shot."
