<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>For the first time since the early 1980s, Stacey Augmon was not a part of organized basketball last season. It was tough to fill the void while living the quiet life in Chino Hills, Calif.</p> "Me and the wife, we'd go to the spin class, we'd go jogging. It was a good bonding time for me and my wife, but I just missed the game a lot," Augmon said. "It's good to be back."</p> One day after signing a nonguaranteed veteran's minimum contract with the Nuggets, Augmon, 39, went through his first workout Thursday at the Pepsi Center.</p> Coach George Karl wants Augmon to bring a defensive presence and indicated he will receive strong consideration for a roster spot. "I wouldn't waste Stacey's time if I didn't think there was a chance of him making our team," Karl said.</div></p> Source: Rocky Mountain News</p>
