Billups, Chauncey (Den)
- Ankles; Day-to-Day
Latest News:
02.09.10
Chauncey Billups (ankles) is expected to play Tuesday against Dallas despite sprains to both of his ankles, the Denver Post reports.
Impact:
Billups was held out of Saturday's loss to Utah due to his right ankle sprain and missed practice on Monday, but all signs point to him playing on Tuesday. You should check back closer to game time just to make sure he didn't have any setbacks in pre-game warm-ups.
02.06.10
Chauncey Billups (ankle) will miss the Nuggets' game against the Jazz on Saturday with a sprained right ankle that he suffered in Friday's win over the Lakers, the Jazz' official site reports.
Impact:
Billups suffered the right ankle sprain in the third quarter of Friday's win. He forced himself to continue playing on it and was able to tally a career-high 39 points in the win. Check his status on Sunday before setting weekly lineups.
02.05.10
Chauncey Billups torched the Lakers for a career-high 39 points Friday. He drained 12 of his 20 shot attempts, including a dominant 9-of-13 from three-point range.
Impact:
Billups threw in eight assists, four rebounds and a steal to round out his stat line. With Carmelo Anthony still out, Billups hoisted the Nuggets onto his back in this one and carried them to victory in an important Western Conference showdown. Anthony seems unlikely to play again Saturday, so Billups may again handle the bulk of the scoring duties.
02.03.10
Chauncey Billups (ankle) had 11 points (5-of-14 FG, 1-of-3 3Pt), four assists, a rebound and a steal in Wednesday's loss to Phoenix.
Impact:
The All-Star replacement for the injured Chris Paul didn't really have his shot working on Wednesday, but the ankle injury that forced him from the morning shootaround didn't seem to be a problem. Despite Wednesday's mediocre shooting, Billups is on pace to set a new career high in scoring average (19.4 ppg).
02.03.10
Chauncey Billups should be able to play on Wednesday against the Suns despite leaving the morning shootaround with his ankle wrapped up in ice, the Denver Post reports.
Impact:
Billups said that the injury is just soreness, so it shouldn't impact his availability against Phoenix on Wednesday night. It sounds like there's a chance that the Nuggets will be without Carmelo Anthony again after he missed the team's morning workout.
02.01.10
Chauncey Billups scored 23 points, handed out nine assists and committed just two turnovers in the Nuggets' overtime win against the Kings on Monday.
Impact:
However, Billups shot a horrific 6-of-25 from the field (24.0 percent), although he did add three 3-pointers and went 8-of-9 from the line as well.
01.31.10
Chauncey Billups put up 25 points, dealt 11 assists and grabbed six rebounds in the Nuggets' win over the Spurs on Sunday.
Impact:
Billups helped pick up the slack in Denver's offense with the NBA's leading scorer, Carmelo Anthony, missing his fourth straight game, recording his fourth double-double of the season.
01.29.10
Chauncey Billups finished with 19 points (4-of-8 FG, 9-of-9 FT), seven assists, five rebounds, and two steals in Friday's loss to the Thunder. He also committed six turnovers.
Impact:
Billups is on an absolute tear in the month of January, and while the turnovers should be monitored (11 in his past two), his overall stellar play more than offsets them right now.
01.25.10
Chauncey Billups had 27 points, six rebounds and 11 assists during Denver's win Monday.
Impact:
Billups went 7-of-15 from the field and 12-of-13 from the line, also adding a 3-pointer and a steal. J.R. Smith, meanwhile, scored 12 points with six rebounds and three assists during 28 minutes off the bench after he averaged just 3.0 ppg over the past two contests.
01.24.10
Chauncey Billups posted 20 points (6-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), nine assists and five rebounds during Denver's win over New Orleans on Saturday night.
Impact:
Another solid game for Billups, who played 43 minutes in the overtime game.
01.22.10
Chauncey Billups scored 20 points on Thursday as the Nuggets dispatched the Clippers 105-85.
Impact:
He scored 20 thanks in large part to stellar shooting from beyond the arc (4-of-6) and from the charity stripe (6-of-6). He's averaging over 25 points a game in the month of January.
01.20.10
Chauncey Billups poured in 37 points on 11-of-19 shooting, including six three-pointers, in Wednesday's overtime victory over the Warriors. He added eight rebounds and eight assists.
Impact:
Billups has been scorching since returning from a groin injury, averaging 26.3 points in six games (the Nuggets are 5-1 in that span). He scored the first eight points of overtime on Wednesday, setting the stage for Denver's win.
01.18.10
Chauncey Billups posted 29 points on 5-of-13 FGs and 17-of-19 FTs during Denver's win over Utah on Sunday night.
Impact:
It was a solid night for Billups who spent a good portion of his court time at SG while rookie Ty Lawson manned the point. Head coach George Karl said he was going to continue to test that combination so you may see a significant bump in his scoring numbers but his assists are likely to suffer. For the record, he also added five rebounds, four assists and two steals, while only turning the ball over once.
01.12.10
Chauncey Billups posted 18 points, 10 assists, three rebounds and two steals during Denver's win over Minnesota on Monday night.
Impact:
Billups was back in point guard mode with the return of Carmelo Anthony to the lineup. It was only the third time all year Billups has posted double figures in assists. He finished just 4-of-11 from the field (2-of-7 3pt) and 8-of-9 from the line with one turnover in 33 minutes.
01.10.10
Chauncey Billups had a team-high 27 points (8-20 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT) in Saturday night's loss to Sacramento.
Impact:
Billups also added three rebounds, three assists, and two steals and only turned the ball over once. While he's had 20+ points in both games since returning from his groin injury, that streak will probably end Monday when Carmelo Anthony returns to the lineup and once again becomes the offensive focal point.
01.09.10
Chauncey Billups (groin) returned to the Nuggets' lineup Friday and had 23 points (8-of-14 FG, 2-of-5 3pt, 5-of-7 FT), five assists, and four turnovers. He added a rebound and steal for good measure.
Impact:
The Nuggets are 3-6 over their last nine games, eight of which Billups has missed. His return pushes Ty Lawson back to a bench role.
01.07.10
Chauncey Billups (groin) participated in practice for a second consecutive day on Thursday and proclaimed himself ready to go for Friday's game against Cleveland, the Denver Post reports.
Impact:
Billups has missed eight of the last nine games with a left groin strain.
01.06.10
Chauncey Billups (groin) practiced on Wednesday and expects to return to action Friday against the Cavaliers, the Nuggets' official Twitter page reports.
Impact:
Billups has missed eight of the past nine games with a strained left groin. The Nuggets won't want to risk further injury, so look for an official announcement to come after Friday's shootaround.
01.05.10
Chauncey Billups (groin) will sit out Tuesday's game against Golden State, the Denver Post reports.
Impact:
Billups said if he has good practice sessions on Wednesday and Thursday it's "possible" he'll play on Friday against Cleveland. Ty Lawson should continue to get the bulk of Billups minutes and he's been putting up solid numbers while Mr. Big Shot has been sidelined.
01.03.10
Chauncey Billups (groin) is not expected to play Sunday against the 76ers, the Sports Network reports.
Impact:
The lowly 76ers don't pose much of a threat to the Nuggets, especially given Ty Lawson's high level of play. This will be Billups' fourth consecutive missed game.
