Guard Kirk Snyder was healthy and Bonzi Wells (sore right foot) was unable to play, but Snyder was placed on the inactive list after having had his minutes drastically cut Wednesday.

With Wells out, Snyder had played 18 minutes in Denver, 29 minutes against San Antonio and 14 minutes against Cleveland, before playing only the last five minutes Wednesday.

His time increased by Tracy McGrady's early foul trouble against the Nuggets and a need for an extra guard against L eBron James on Monday.

"How do I put this kindly?" coach Jeff Van Gundy said. "We had a disagreement at practice today about how hard he was working and his response put him on the inactive list."

Asked if the move was only for Friday, Van Gundy said: "I don't know. I don't know how he's going to work tomorrow."
