Im definitely looking forward to those couple games we play against Denver."

July 16, 2008
Marcus Camby was insulted when he heard of the trade that sent him to the Clippers, according to the Rocky Mountain News. "I definitely feel insulted..."Blindsided, distraught, disrespected.

Camby wants to remain in Denver and said, "I want to be here, but I also want to be where I'm wanted. Do I feel wanted in Denver? I don't know. Every other day there are trade rumors and stuff like that. I'm just trying to enjoy the offseason. That's all I can really do at this point."

June 16, 2008
Marcus Camby could get dealt by the Nuggets, according to the Boston Globe. Camby would be the most favorable player to deal in a trade, and Carmelo Anthony would be too hard to replace and is a fan favorite. Camby said, "You hear trade rumors every summer around this time. You just got to take it with a grain of salt. Denver is where I want to be. But I definitely want to be where I'm wanted."

Marcus Camby did what he does best in the Nuggets 117-99 win over the Clippers, grabbing 18 rebounds (13 defensive) to lead the way for Denver. Camby also added 13 points, four assists, and one blocked shot, giving a solid all-around performance as the Nuggets push to stay in the playoff picture.

March 23, 2008
Marcus Camby continues to own the board for the Nuggets. The veteran center, who is averaging 13.5 rebounds per game, pulled down 15 in Denver's 109-100 win over Toronto on Sunday. Camby is throwing in 10 points and 3 assists per contest to be a fantasy helper at the age of 34.

March 17, 2008
With the Nuggets scoring an amazing 168 versus Seattle, a game that saw eight different Nuggets score in double digits (three going over 20), Marcus Camby shined as the all-around tool of destruction for Denver in the win. Camby scored 13 points, cleaned 15 rebounds off the glass, and earned 10 assists to work as the only triple double on a busy day of NBA action. On nights like this, a consistent performer like Camby can find a multitude of ways to contribute, a performance of pure gold for fantasy owners.

March 11, 2008
Marcus Camby will be re-evaluated today after suffered a right hip injury during the first half of action Monday night, but he was able to finish the game, so that is a good sign. This according to the Denver Post.

March 10, 2008
Marcus Camby didn't fair well in his matchup with Tim Duncan as he was held to just three points and no blocked shots in the Nuggets four point loss. Camby did pull 14 boards so his night wasn't a complete disaster, though he has now gone all five games in the month of March with a double-digit scoring effort.

February 28, 2008
Marcus Camby made 6 of 9 shots on his way to 12 points on Wednesday night. However, as it usually goes with the defensive force, his value lay elsewhere as he pulled 14 rebounds, dished off four assists and blocked five shots on the night. Camby has now blocked at least two shots in 10-straight games.

February 8, 2008
Marcus Camby was sore Thursday after returning from his bruised left knee the night before, according to the Rocky Mountain News. "It held up for the most part," he said. "I was pretty sore (Thursday) morning, but I'll be out there (Friday)." Camby's always in injury risk and may have to rest his knees sporadically the rest of the season, but he's a fantasy freak on the boards and blocking shots, so his owners just have to live with his frailty.

February 6, 2008
Marcus Camby returned on Wednesday night from a bruised left knee that had sidelined him for two games and had 11 points and 17 boards.

February 6, 2008
Marcus Camby has missed the past two games with a left knee contusion but is "shooting to play" tonight. "I want to play I don't want to sit out games," he told the Denver Post. "I know how important I am to this team."

February 5, 2008
Marcus Camby sat out his second straight game Monday with a bruised left knee, and coach George Karl is wondering if he's played the injury-prone center too much this season. "I think it's more of the wear and tear of an older player," Karl said in the Denver Post. "There's sometimes a need in a season to rest the bones and get the tendons and ligaments a little healthier. Marcus' knee is sore, no question. Just because it's an important game, we don't want to get crazy and put him out for a longer period of time." Karl is likely to be more cautious with Camby once the Western Conference's leading rebounder returns.

February 4, 2008
Marcus Camby, who leads the Western Conference with 14.3 rebounds per game, is questionable for tonight's game because of a bruised left knee, according to the Denver Post. "I would love to have him back we struggled without his rebounds (against Charlotte on Saturday)," Nuggets guard Anthony Carter said. "You can see a big difference with him out there, changing shots, things like that. He brings a whole different dimension to our team, and we miss him big time, because you can't replace that." If Camby is unable to play tonight, seldom-used Steven Hunter could start at center. Hunter had eight points, six rebounds and two blocked shots Saturday against Charlotte.

February 3, 2008
A left knee contusion kept Marcus Camby from playing on Saturday, according to the Denver Post. "It's been bothering me for a week and a half now. I've just been playing through it," Camby said. "I've been giving it up for the team the last couple of weeks. Everyone's been playing banged-up, though, so that's no excuse. But Monday (against Portland) is definitely a big game. So I'm just trying to get as healthy as possible." The injury might require him to take games off on occasion the rest of the way, but considering the oft-injured center has missed just three games this season, that's not so bad.

January 17, 2008
Marcus Camby had a dominant game in the paint Thursday, rolling up 24 rebounds and 11 blocks in a win over Utah. This makes up for his forgettable offensive night; Camby finished with just eight points on 4-for-13 shooting.
