Dion Glover returned home Friday from a "mini-vacation" in Denver, where he had more than just a casual visit with Nuggets officials.

In addition to meeting with Nuggets general manager Kiki Vandeweghe and coach Jeff Bzdelik, the Hawks unrestricted free-agent guard also was in the Pepsi Center for two days working out and scrimmaging with players, including Nuggets first-round pick Carmelo Anthony and recently signed point guard Andre Miller.

"Things went all right," Glover said.

The up-close-and-personal look might have helped Glover, who started 42 games and averaged a career-high 9.7 points last season, his fourth with the Hawks.

"Dion volunteered to come in, and he's left us with a favorable impression," Bzdelik told the Rocky Mountain News. "Dion plays with great effort. He's an excellent defender. He attacks the rim well."

The Nuggets are close to signing reserve point guard Earl Boykins to a multi-year deal. They are considering Glover, Jon Barry, Steve Smith, Voshon Lenard and Stephen Jackson as options at starting shooting guard. Vandeweghe said he expects to make a decision this weekend.
