Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris is being considered on a day-to-day basis after an MRI confirmed a hip injury, coach Michael Malone said on Wednesday.

The Nuggets have three games in four nights starting with Friday night's road game against the Charlotte Hornets.

Harris, 24, scored three points in nine minutes on Monday as Denver beat the Raptors 106-103.
