Camby Cleared To Play After Missing 14 Games

Denver Nuggets center Marcus Camby was cleared Tuesday to play after missing 14 games with a broken finger.

Camby's status was day-to-day, and the Nuggets will decide at game time Wednesday whether he will play when the Nuggets face the Trail Blazers in Portland.

Coach George Karl has said he expected Camby to play about 25 minutes a game once he returned.

Camby was having the best season of his career -- leading the NBA in rebounding with 12.9 per game and averaging 16.3 points and 3.12 blocks -- when he broke his right pinkie on Dec. 26 at Golden State.
