Nuggets' Harris returns vs. Knicks

The good news keeps coming for the Denver Nuggets.

Three days after getting Paul Millsap back from injury, Gary Harris returned to action off the bench on Tuesday against the New York Knicks.

Denver's starting shooting guard had missed the last 11 games due to a right hip injury. His return gives the Nuggets their third-leading scorer back just as the team has won six of its last eight.

The Nuggets had signed veteran Nick Young as a stopgap in the wake of Harris' injury, but waived him on Sunday.
