"Nuggets forward Al Harrington, who missed five weeks of summer workouts because of left foot pain, already had ground to make up during the preseason.

Now comes Saturday's news that he will miss most of the preseason.

An MRI revealed that the new Nugget suffered a partial tear of the plantar fascia in Friday's first preseason game. Harrington is expected to miss an estimated two weeks, putting a return near Oct. 23, one day after the final preseason game and four days before the season opener against Utah."
