The Denver Nuggets signed center Jelani McCoy off the Los Angeles Lakers' Developmental League affiliate Thursday, bringing back a big man who had played with them in the preseason.
Earlier this week, the Nuggets released guard Mike Wilks to clear a roster spot for a big man with Nene (thumb) and Steven Hunter (knee) out for at least a month and starting power forward Kenyon Martin recovering from a bruised knee.

The Nuggets today are expected to sign center Jelani McCoy of the NBA Developmental League, a team source said. On Tuesday night, Nuggets' Vice President of Basketball Operations Mark Warkentien watched McCoy's game in person in the Los Angeles area. McCoy scored six points with 10 rebounds and five blocks for his team, the Los Angeles D-Fenders.
Late Tuesday, the Nuggets released guard Mike Wilks, with plans to clear a roster spot for a big man. Nene (thumb) and Steven Hunter (knee) are each out for at least a month, and starting power forward Kenyon Martin suffered a bone bruise in his knee last week. Though the Nuggets are hopeful Martin can play Thursday at the Los Angeles Lakers, he is still playing limited minutes because he is returning from knee surgery.
McCoy, the 29-year-old UCLA product, averaged 8.0 points and 6.5 rebounds in the D-League.
