Nuggets' Atkins Out 6-8 Weeks With Strained Groin

[CameronCrazy06]

Denver Nuggets ' guard Chucky Atkins is expected to miss six to eight weeks after an MRI on Saturday revealed a severe right groin strain.

Atkins, who signed with the Nuggets in July, has been bothered during the preseason by a pulled groin. He left an exhibition game against Phoenix on Thursday with a groin injury.

The eight-year veteran averaged 13.2 points and 4.6 assists with Memphis last season.

Not like they're going to miss him... I'd be happy if I was a Denver fan. Couldn't stand him here in LA.

I heard Atkins was gonna start at PG and take a similar role to what Steve Blake had last year. I guess not anymore...
