Jameer Nelson: Cleared to play Saturday vs. Hornets

Nelson sat out Wednesday’s win over the Bucks while recovering from a case of
food poisoning, affording Jamal Murray the start at point guard. The rookie
turned in 10 points (4-13 FG, 2-9 3Pt), five assists, two steals, one rebound
and one block in 30 minutes, but that performance is unlikely to keep him in the
top unit over Nelson, who has been a reliable performer with the starting five
since late January. Look for a healthy Nelson to settle back into a
28-to-32-minute role Saturday.
