DENVER -- Al Harrington comes out firing when he gets off the bench. So one wouldn't expect Harrington to be wishy-washy about when he plans to return from a foot injury."No doubts,'' the Denver forward said Tuesday about being ready for the Nuggets' Oct. 27 regular-season opener against Utah.
Harrington, who averaged 17.7 points as New York's sixth man last season before signing with Denver as a free agent, suffered a partial tear of his left plantar fascia with less than two minutes gone in the Oct. 9 preseason opener against Portland.
After an MRI was taken the next day, Harrington was ruled out for an estimated two weeks. Harrington hopes to beat that timetable by a day or two by getting into one of Denver's final two preseason games, Thursday at Portland or Friday at Phoenix.
"I really want to play in one of those, so we'll see how it goes,'' Harrington said before Tuesday's preseason game against Oklahoma City at the Pepsi Center. "I'm going to run Wednesday, so we'll see.''
