Nuggets' Bruce Brown: Back to bench

Brown will operate off the bench Friday against the Trail Blazers.

Brown will revert to a bench role with Michael Porter back in the mix, but the latter is expected to operate under a minutes restriction, meaning Brown should still see a decent role off the bench. Across 12 appearances as a reserve, Brown has averaged 9.0 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 26.1 minutes.
