Nuggets Vs. Lakers: Corey Brewer Back In Action

Denver Nuggets SF Corey Brewer will be back for the team's match up vs. the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night after missing the Nuggets' Thursday night victory over the Los Angeles Clippers due to "personal reasons." Brewer, who is an important cog in Denver's vaunted deep rotation, is averaging 7.9 points per game on 50% shooting for the year.

The Nuggets didn't miss Brewer much Thursday night when they invaded Lob City and blew the Clippers out to the tune of 112-91. In Denver's two games this season vs. the Lakers, Brewer did not log a single minute, but that might change on Friday night.
