Gary Harris has been diagnosed with a partially torn groin muscle and could potentially miss between 4-6 weeks, but what will this mean for the Nuggets?

Gary Harris was one of the healthier Nuggets last season as he only missed a total of six games the entire season.

But Harris might be missing a little more than that this season, as he could potentially miss up to a total of six weeks, which would mean he would return about two to three weeks in to the season.

Gary Harris was possibly the most consistent Nugget last season and without his stability in the starting lineup, it will be quite interesting as to how head coach Michael Malone will set the rotation.

It will also be interesting to see if Murray will start or not. Could Malone use Murray for first team minutes while Barton helps anchor down the bench? It’s just an irrelevant thought.
