Denver Nuggets guard/forward Will Barton (hip) is progressing in his rehab and close to a return, head coach Mike Malone said.
Malone said he hopes to get Barton back in the lineup "in the next couple of weeks." The seventh-year guard will be re-evaluated next week, and barring any setbacks, should be back around mid-December.
Barton averaged 30.0 FanDuel points in two games, with 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 0.5 steals, 1.0 blocks, and 2.5 3-pointers over 27.0 minutes.
