Nuggets' Najera has broken foot, expected back for playoffs
DENVER -- An MRI on the right foot of Denver forward Eduardo Najera revealed a compression fracture, though the Nuggets expect him to be ready for the playoffs.
Najera was injured when he came down on someone's foot in the second quarter of Denver's 110-108 overtime victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday. He will be re-evaluated in a week.
Najera has averaged 5.4 points and 5.1 rebounds in 63 games, mostly as a reserve.
