Nuggets point guard Chauncey Billups will miss the team's next two games to rest his strained groin.

Billups injured his left groin on Dec. 16 against Houston and missed Denver's next three games. He returned on Christmas Day against Portland, but didn't play in the second half.

The Nuggets said in an injury update report Sunday that the move was "not a setback" and the goal was to avoid a "lingering problem."
