Link:Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin is tentatively pointing toward Wednesday's game against Detroit for his first action since injuring the knee last season.
Asked Thursday when he'll play, Martin said: "Probably toward the end of the week. Probably the last one next week, maybe. But it'll only be one next week. We've got three of them; it'll be one out of the three probably."
Martin said his practice Wednesday was the best of the preseason. In a little more than an hour of work, he said his knees and conditioning felt as good as they have since the start of training camp.
"It's been a process, but it's been a good process," Martin said. "Just following the steps the doctor gave me. Not doing anything to jeopardize nothing.
"Of course if it was up to me, I would just go. But that probably wouldn't be the best thing. That's why I didn't leave it up to me. Some people left it up to me before, and I overdid it. That's why it's not up to me now."
