Wilson Chandler set to make latest comeback for Denver Wilson Chandler has the comeback thing down. Now, he’d like to stick around for a while. Limited to four games this season while recovering from hip surgery, Chandler is set to return to the court Sunday night when the Denver Nuggets face the Golden State Warriors at Pepsi Center. Chandler, a versatile wing player, came back to Denver last spring after playing in China but appeared in eight games before being sidelined by pain in his left hip. He had surgery to repair a labral tear on April 30 and spent the offseason regaining his strength and mobility. After returning in time for Denver’s season-opener, Chandler played in only four games before realizing that his hip needed more time to heal. “It’s tough because you want to do a lot of things your mind tells you to do but your body can’t,” he said after a light workout Saturday. “You just want to go out and play good for the team, for yourself, for the fans. “People are asking you all the time, ‘What’s wrong? Why aren’t you playing?’ People on the outside really don’t know what’s going on, so people kind of criticize. That’s part of the game.” Chandler, 25, will be playing for the first since Nov. 12. He believes that the past two months have been essential to putting the injury behind him. “When I played those couple games at the beginning of the season, I wasn’t healthy. I wasn’t myself,” he said. “Now, I’m just getting my strength back and I feel pretty strong. I think now it’s just getting my wind back. I know (Sunday) I’ll be a little winded. I just have to fight through it.” Nuggets coach George Karl has been using 10 players in his rotation of late, and Chandler will be an added option for scoring and defense on the wing. “All of a sudden I have 12, 13 guys that could be on the court,” Karl said. “I don’t think anything is definitive with this team. The depth of this team is its strength and I don’t think anybody should feel secure in their minutes. That’s the way it probably should be.” That’s fine with Chandler, who doesn’t have a sense of entitlement as he prepares to return. “I wouldn’t want to come in right away and take somebody’s minutes who’s playing good when I haven’t played all season,” he said. “I wouldn’t want that to happen to me. I’d rather earn it than just have it given to me.” Chandler, who signed a multiyear contract with Denver last spring, credited the athletic training and strength-and-conditioning staff of Jim Gillen, Steve Hess, Dan Shimensky and Felipe Eichenberger for helping him return to the court. He also gave a nod to the coaching staff for their work. “Just the whole team, period,” he said. “I’m just appreciative that they stayed with me this long.” 本赛季金块前锋Wilson Chandler因臂部手术仅打了4场比赛， 他将在明天主场对勇士队的比赛中复出。 Wilson Chandler动了手术之後整个休赛期都在 恢复自己的力量和移动能力。 虽然他准时在金块队本赛季揭幕战中复出， 但是他仅打了4场比赛之後就感觉自己需要更 多的时间来恢复臂部伤势。 “这种情况太让人难受了，因为你心里想着要去做很多事情， 可是你的身体状况却不允许你去做。”Wilson Chandler 在今天进行了轻度的训练後接受采访时说， “你只是想到场上去为球队，为自己，为球迷打出漂亮的比赛。” 明天对战勇士将会是Wilson Chandler自 2012年11月13日以来首次上场打球。 他相信过去两个月的休息已经让自己完全康复了。 “当我在赛季初参加的那些比赛时，我身体还没康复， 那还不是我自己的真实水准。”Wilson Chandler说， “现在我正逐渐恢复自己的力量，并感觉很有劲。 我想我现在得慢慢恢复体能。我知道（明天对勇士） 我将会感觉有点体力不足，不过我还是得努力去克服这一点。” http://www.nba.com/nuggets/news/wilson-chandler-set-make-latest-comeback-denver --
