Kenyon Martin, recovering from right knee microfracture surgery, played in his first game in nearly a year. It looked like he had missed a week.

In Denver?s 104-78 preseason win over Milwaukee at the Resch Center, Martin totaled 11 points and five rebounds in 15 first-half minutes. With the Nuggets remaining cautious about his health, Martin didn?t play in the second half.

"He?s back, man," said Nuggets' forward Carmelo Anthony, who scored 16 points while guard Allen Iverson had a game-high 22. "Hopefully, his body can keep up. He was looking pretty good for his first game."

Martin last played in a Nov. 2, 2006 regular-season game. He underwent season-ending surgery later that month.
