Zeke Nnaji - Back after long absence Nnaji (knees) played 26 minutes in Sunday's 146-141 overtime loss to the Lakers, finishing with five points (1-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and two assists. Impact Suiting up for the first time since March 9 and for only the second time since the All-Star break, Nnaji was expected to have a minute restriction in his return from a right foot surgery, but any playing-time limit wasn't evident in his workload during the regular-season finale. Nnaji was far from productive during his time on the court, however, and he could find himself on the outside of head coach Michael Malone's rotation when the Nuggets begin their first-round playoff series against the Warriors on Saturday.
