JaVale McGee was given rotation minutes by Steve Kerr and the Golden State Warriors for the first time this season on the second night of a back-to-back at the Denver Nuggets.

McGee had 10 points and two blocks, offering size and an energy boost.

“We’re looking at the first part of the season as somewhat experimental,” Kerr said. “We haven’t really given him a chance yet. You could see he gives us a dimension that we don’t have, throwing it up to the rim for a lob, which provides you extra spacing. I thought he was great.”

McGee has bounced around over the past few seasons and earned his way onto the Warriors' roster with an impressive preseason.
